A relationship is established between relative geostrophic vorticity on an isobaric surface and the Laplacian of the underlying layer-mean temperature. This relationship is used to investigate the distribution of vorticity and baroclinicity in a jet-stream model which is constantly recurrent in the winter troposphere.

Understanding the variability of the Earth's climate is complicated by the mutual interactions that exist between the atmosphere and the oceans of the Earth. The purpose of the research described in this paper is to attempt to understand the rudiments of such interactions by constructing a simple 1-D atmosphere-ocean model in order to examine the sensitivity of the equilibrium of a coupled climate "system" to changes in the imposed external forcings....

Analysis and synthesis of data relating to regional surface pressure, coastal weather and climate patterns on the north coast of Alaska.

For almost a century, W. A. Bentley caught and photographed thousands of snowflakes in his workshop at Jericho, Vermont, and made available to scientists and art instructors samples of his remarkable work. His painstakingly prepared images were remarkable revelations of nature's diversity in uniformity: no two snowflakes are exactly alike, but all are based on a common hexagon. In 1931, the American Meteorological Society gathered the best of Bentley's...
