Introduction to Circulating Atmospheres

Introduction to Circulating Atmospheres

I. N. James

Cambridge University Press
1995
pokkari
This book gives an account of the modern view of the global circulation of the atmosphere. It brings the observed nature of the circulation together with theories and simple models of the mechanisms which drive it. Early chapters concentrate on the classical view of the global circulation, on the processes which generate atmospheric motions and on the dynamical constraints which modify them. Later chapters develop more recent themes including low frequency variability and the circulations of other planetary atmospheres. The book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers who wish for an introduction to the subject before engaging with the original scientific literature. The book is copiously illustrated, and includes many results of diagnostic and modelling studies. Each chapter includes a set of problems and bibliographical notes.

The Adjustment From the author of Fire Flies comes his latest work, The Adjustment. This is a story of a tatterdemalion teacher named Dr. Griffin Bayer. Bayer endures a gradual psychotic break. As a result Griff devises a plan to poison thousands of people with an "off the market" drug. Along the way our protagonist makes an enemy with homicidal tendencies who becomes bent on his demise. As the characters become entangled in each other's lives, unthinkable darkness and suspense begin to build. The story is regarded as an incredibly dark comedy. The book focuses on many topics which are categorized as taboo in today's politically correct culture. The author is not afraid to shatter moral and forbidden confines. Since this piece does not abide by the rules of civilized culture, it should not be read by anyone easily offended. The author requires the reader to have a thick skin, as your morals and decency will be tested on almost every page. The Adjustment will make you both grin and bear it. Enjoy

In Sarah Collins’s mind, only one thing stands in the way of her success . . . an unborn baby.Sarah is about to receive a promotion that will give her everything she’s ever wanted: a huge pay increase, a new car, a fabulous apartment, and first-class travel.But then she discovers she’s pregnant. And while she thinks she loves her boyfriend, Matt, she isn’t sure he’s mature enough to be a responsible father. And the job she’s pursuing is open only because the previous employee is out on maternity leave. Sarah would never be able to handle the travel as a single mom.Torn between advice from her coworkers, the insistence of her mother and sister that she keep the baby, her insecurity about her relationship with Matt, and the void where her father should be, Sarah has no idea how to make this decision.A Christmas card from a mysterious old woman is the catalyst for three visions of her future—and just may be the miracle she needs. But can she trust the visions? Are they the yearnings of a conflicted heart? Or are they true visions from the God she thought had turned His back on her?For every woman who has made painful decisions, Sarah’s Choice offers comfort, wisdom and hope."This story provides a bit of encouragement and hope to those facing a difficult decision." —Romantic Times, 4-star review "A thought-provoking and stirring story of painful choices and their ramifications.

One photograph - A single image - A lonely boat on the edge of seaIs it adrift? - Was it abandoned? - Did it wash ashore? - Was anyone aboard?Did someone leave it behind? - Is anyone coming back? - Who knows.The sea has washed the footprints away.Look at the vessel and think: "If that old boat could talk, what stories it would tell."Wonder no longer.Twelve members of Underground Authors all gazed upon the same image. And to each the photograph told a different story. Same boat. Same image. Different genres.From mystery and technothriller to romance and magical realism, from horror and historical fiction to fantasy and suspense with a little paranormal thrown in for good measure. These stories are presented in Beyond The Sea and are the handiwork of award-winning authors Breakfield and Burkey, N.E. Brown, James R. Callan, Michael Scott Clifton, Cindy Davis, CW Hawes, Kelly Marshall, Caleb Pirtle III, Linda Pirtle, C.J. Peterson, Richard Schwindt, and Ronald E. Yates. The stories are all different as the boat had more than one secret to tell. It had a dozen.The Underground Authors decided to dedicate the proceeds from 2021 sales of Beyond The Sea to a group that supports communities. https: //teamrubiconusa.org/ Team Rubicon serves communities by mobilizing veterans to continue their service, leveraging their skills and experience to help people prepare, respond, and recover from disasters and humanitarian crises.The story of Team Rubicon and what they have accomplished is amazing. There are also volunteer opportunities with them if you wish to help. Enjoy the stories a bit more knowing you also contributed to a worthwhile cause.

Given the size and scope of the Russian propaganda campaign that targeted the U.S. electorate in 2016, it is critical to understand the impact of that campaign and mechanisms that can reduce the impact of future campaigns. This report, the third in a series, describes a study that assessed how people react to and engage with this propaganda, and found that media literacy advisories and labeling the source of the propaganda had a counter effect.
I Remember Me

I Remember Me

It is well established that children recognize themselves in mirrors by the end of infancy, showing awareness of the self as an object in the environment. However, the cognitive impact of objective self-awareness requires further elucidation. This gap in the literature is addressed in a series of 7 experiments exploring the role of self in 3- and 4-year-olds' event memory. A mnemonic bias for self-relevant material has been described in adults. This effect is thought to be based on the organizational properties of a highly elaborated self-concept, and so offers a clear route to study the child's developing sense of self. However, very few studies have investigated the ontogeny of this effect. New evidence is provided to suggest that preschool children, like adults, show a mnemonic advantage for material that has been physically linked with the self through performance of a depicted action (Experiment 1). Moreover, 3- and 4-year olds show a bias for material that has been visually and linguistically processed with the self-image (Experiments 2, 3, 4), and material that has been socio-cognitively linked to the self in terms of ownership (Experiments 5, 6, 7). The data imply that both bottom-up (kinesthetic feedback, self-concept) and top-down (attention) aspects of self reflection may play a supporting role in early event memory, perhaps representing a nascent form of autobiographical processing. Importantly, this research highlights a promising methodology for elucidating the executive role of the self in cognition. Following William James's (1890) influential conception of the self, it seems that in typical development, "I" is primed to remember "me."
Fluid Dynamics of the Mid-Latitude Atmosphere

Fluid Dynamics of the Mid-Latitude Atmosphere

Brian J. Hoskins; Ian N. James

John Wiley Sons Inc
2014
nidottu
This book gives a coherent development of the current understanding of the fluid dynamics of the middle latitude atmosphere. It is primarily aimed at post-graduate and advanced undergraduate level students and does not assume any previous knowledge of fluid mechanics, meteorology or atmospheric science. The book will be an invaluable resource for any quantitative atmospheric scientist who wishes to increase their understanding of the subject. The importance of the rotation of the Earth and the stable stratification of its atmosphere, with their implications for the balance of larger-scale flows, is highlighted throughout.Clearly structured throughout, the first of three themes deals with the development of the basic equations for an atmosphere on a rotating, spherical planet and discusses scale analyses of these equations. The second theme explores the importance of rotation and introduces vorticity and potential vorticity, as well as turbulence. In the third theme, the concepts developed in the first two themes are used to give an understanding of balanced motion in real atmospheric phenomena. It starts with quasi-geostrophic theory and moves on to linear and nonlinear theories for mid-latitude weather systems and their fronts. The potential vorticity perspective on weather systems is highlighted with a discussion of the Rossby wave propagation and potential vorticity mixing covered in the final chapter.
