PREFACE TO THE SEVENTH EDITION

A personal perspective on the further reform of the advances in atmospheric sciences

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2002

First of all, I wish to thank the Advances in Atmospheric Sciences (AAS) Editorial Board for recommending the publication of this original letter, summarizing my personal perspective on the reform of AAS, that was distributed during its 19 December 2001 Board meeting. The letter has now been significantly improved by the incorporation of many helpful comments and suggestions from extensive email discussions conducted among over 60 foreign participants, including several board members of AAS, as well as from numerous personal communications (see the acknowledgements section).

Multiple choice questions in Aeronautical Meteorology-1 (re2vised)

Multiple choice questions in Aeronautical Meteorology -1(re2vised), 2022

In the re2vised version many questions have been changed and some more questions were added. So the readers are advised to follow the re2vised version than the earlier ones. While these questions are helpful for a wide range of students of meteorology, oceanography etc., these are especially useful for the students of B.Tech Aeronautical meteorology students which were recently given by Ayapilla Murty. The answers for these questions were appended in another folder. Readers are advised to answer first and later see the answers. Readers are advised to workout the problems by verifying some text books or my lecture notes. If they can not get the answer then only they are advised to see the answers given in other folder. Otherwise they can not appreciate and understand the gravity of the problems.

Thus investigation and knowledge is evidently linked to a specific purpose. Especially Earth science is confronted with two major human perspectives concerning our natural environment: sustainability of resources and assessment of risks. Both aspects are expressing urgent needs of the living society, but in the same way those needs are addressing a long lasting fundamental challenge which has so far not been met. Following on the patterns of economy and technology, the key is presumed to be found through a development of feasible concepts for a management of both our natural environment and in one or the other way the realm of life. Although new techniques for observation and analysis led to an increase of rather specific knowledge about particular phenomena, yet we fail now even more frequently to avoid unforeseen implications and sudden changes of a situation. Obviously the improved technological tools and the assigned expectations on a management of nature still exceed our traditional scientific experience and accumulated competence. Earth-and Life-Sciences are nowadays exceedingly faced with the puzzling nature of an almost boundless network of relations, i. e., the complexity of phenomena with respect to their variability. The disciplinary notations and their particular approaches are thus no longer accounting sufficiently for the recorded context of phenomena, for their permanent variability and their unpredictable implications. The large environmental changes of glacial climatic cycles, for instance, demonstrate this complexity of such a typical phenomenology. Ice age cycles involve beside the reorganisation of ice sheets as well changes of the ocean-atmosphere system, the physics and chemistry of the oceans and their sedimentary boundaries. They are linked to the carbon cycle, and the marine and terrestrial ecosystems and last not least the crucial changes in the orbital parameters such as in eccentricity, precession frequency and tilt of the planet during its rotation and movement in space. So far changes of solar radiation through the activity of the sun itself have not yet been adequately incorporated. The entire dynamics of the climate system has therefore the potential to perform abrupt reorganisation as demonstrated by sedimentary records. It becomes quite obvious, in order to reveal the complex nature of phenomena we evidently have to reorganise our own scientific perspectives and our disciplinary bounds as well.

Founding Editorial — Atmospheric Systems and TheScientificWorld

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2001

There is a satisfying logic to the Greek choice of air, water, and earth as elements. Today we see this logic reflected in the way that that global science is subdivided into the categories of air, land, and water. Thus, the relevance of a science of global issues is not merely of academic interest. The tide of environmental concern, a vision of limits to growth, and a desire for sustainability have fostered an unprecedented interest in global sciences.

Bibliography of Recent Literature in the History of Meteorology

2009

The following is a bibliography of recent secondary literature in the history of meteorology, broadly conceived. It is presented in chronological order a) to illustrate the growth of history of meteorology as field in the throes of self-definition, and b) because an artificial schema, whether based on subject, region, period, or discipline, would fail in the face of the diversity of the materials represented. It is intended as a tool for students entering the field, a refresher for those already in it, and a reference for historians in other fields. 1 History of the Project The bibliography project began in November 2003 at the History of Science Society Annual Meeting in Cambridge, MA. James Fleming 2 organized a session and a subsequent wildcat dinner for ICHM members. At the session, and afterwards, Fleming told me that the IUHPS had requested that its commissions produce bibliographies for the World History of Science Online Project. I offered that I had already compiled a fairly large bibliographic database while completing my dissertation. 3 Because of what I found to be the paucity of literature in the historiography of meteorology when I started my dissertation research, I had gathered everything I could find. Fleming suggested making a more formal project of it. As there were other bibliographic resources for older material, we decided that twenty years of recent historiography would be the most useful. The following year I presented a poster (figure 1) describing the project at the ICHM meeting in Poling, at which time the raw database had grown to over 700 titles. Afterwards, as I pursued my own research interests, the database sat on the back burner, but continued to grow in size and scope, with contributions by Fleming and others, and occasional bursts of bibliographic work of my own. We discussed the state of the project at the 2008 Pittsburgh HSS meeting. At a thousand titles covering 25 years, it was time to stop. The field had grown to the point where keeping up with things was too much work for one person, and where the end product, a traditional bibliography, would be soon superseded by electronic formats. Another year's work, and additional help coming from Roger Turner's announcement on the ICHM website, brought the bibliography to nearly 1600 titles, covering a twenty-six-year time span. Scope The initial choice of twenty years as a span for the project was in some sense natural. Twenty is a round number, and representative of what we conceive of as "recent." Fleming and Roy E. Goodman had recovered the historiography of meteorology prior to the twentieth century, 4 but the largest English-language bibliography on more recent work in the field was Brush and Landsberg's 1985 work, which contained the historiography of meteorology and geophysics to that point in one volume. 5 Recent work had not been covered. The third reason is more historiographical. The early 1980s saw the field of meteorology expanding in the US. It was a notably neglected field within the history of science, which now saw new people coming in from the fields of science, history, and literary studies. Earlier historiography was sparse (for examples of what was available, see Hessenbruch's Readers' Guide to the History of Science (2000)). 6 In 1977, H. Howard Frisinger was able to write a modest-sized monograph covering meteorology from prehistory to 1800. 7 In 1983, people such as Theodore Feldman were writing about fiftyyear periods, 8 representing greater specialization within history of science, and scholars such as Arden Reed were opening up the cultural context from outside the field. 9 Similar developments were likewise happening throughout the scholarly world. As for the other extreme of the scope, indecision whether to produce something in print, or something entirely electronic, left the project in limbo, even as the data accumulated. The decision to terminate the collection at twenty five years resulted in the actual cessation at twenty six. The closer to publication date the better.
