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

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.

During a trip to a weather station, Fly Guy and Buzz learn all about weather, discussing what controls the weather, how clouds form, and the scientists who study the Earth's climate.

In this study, the RAMS@CSU cloud-resolving mesoscale forecast model is run in a real-time configuration with a sophisticated microphysical package and multiple nested grids, in which the smallest grid has increased vertical resolution in the lower boundary layer. Using this configuration, two specific fog events are simulated in 3-D using initialization data with a horizontal resolution of 40 km.
