An account of the development of the Eole programme, with strong emphasis on systems and material design and testing. The experiment involved the launching of a fleet of atmospheric balloons and a satellite...
Describes some of the physical mechanisms responsible for electrostatic charging of a thundercloud and the subsequent precipitation and electrical discharges resulting in lightning. The role of pointed...
The carbon dioxide content of the earth’s atmosphere acts like the glass in a greenhouse. Burned at the present rate, the resulting emission of carbon dioxide will have warmed the earth’s atmosphere by...
Nature of convection in the atmosphere (time-lapse of cumulus over sun-heated mountains) and in the laboratory (tank demonstration). Description of ‘meteotron’ and shots of experiments in 1978-79 to...
The sea-breeze circulation over Florida is described using observed winds and inferences from the convergence lines which are related to the topography of the coastlines and Lake Okeechobee. The main part of...
A study of satellites from Echo and Early Bird through ERTS, Navsats, Weather Sats to Landsat and Satellite Business Systems. Shows the effort put into the weather study of the earth and ends with a review...
Suggests that investment in space technology is perhaps a ‘flight from reality’ with so many problems on earth requiring urgent attention. Discusses the benefits that have and will be experienced,...
Explains formation and propagation of the wind-gust lines of thunderstorms (arc-clouds) using animation and time-lapse shots from geostationary weather satellites. Interpretation of characteristic...
Convection during thunderstorms caused by heat leads to an ascension of the clouds with the formation of a cirrus shield, an overshooting top; anvil forms result from wind shearing. Explanations using...
Computer-calculated wind vector fields show different particle formations and their changes under the influence of large-range sea breezes from different directions over Florida.
