It is shown that a general class of nonlinear partial differential equations -- including those frequently used in predicting atmospheric motions -- can be converted to computational form by either the "finite difference" or "spectral" method to yield formally identical equations.

During a long hot summer, Clifford tries many things to keep cool.

Life is delicious in the town of Chewandswallow where it rains soup and juice, snows mashed potatoes, and blows storms of hamburgers--until the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Simple text and photographs introduce beginning readers to the characteristics of wind.

A time-dependent, hemispheric, primitive-equation numerical model is constructed to test Hines' (1974) hypothesis that solar variations induce changes in the distributions of basic state variables at high levels in the atmosphere, and thus induce changes in planetary-scale wave structure at lower atmospheric levels. This mechanism was proposed to explain apparent atmospheric responses to solar activity.

Wind profiler data collected during FIRE-II, in November 1991, provided an opportunity for detailed observation of the passage of a warm front over Parsons, KS. Surface data, rawinsonde data and satellite observations were used to collaborate and understand the phenomena detected by the wind profiler.

"Weather is always changing. It can be unpredictable. But even with all the changes, some patterns can be found. Learn how meteorologists use tools and systems to measure and predict these patterns. Find out how these patterns influence weather around the world"--
