A/D converters are commonly used in imaging systems to convert pixel values to numeric equivalents, in radar systems to convert signal intensity to digital values for subsequent signal processing, and in many other areas of in situ and remote sensing . Important A/D converter characteristics include the number of unique quantization levels (expressed by the number of binary bits in the resulting numeric values) and the speed of quantization. A-display radar display on which targets appear as vertical deflections from a horizontal line that represents elapsed time from the most recent transmitted pulse Distance to the target is indicated by the horizontal position of the deflection from the origin of the time axis; the amplitude of the vertical deflection is a function of the received signal strength . The A-display was the first type of radar display in common use. It may be produced by amplitude modulating the horizontal sweep of an oscilloscope with the received signal . An oscilloscope displaying this is called an A-scope . On an A-scope the difference between the coherent echoes produced by aircraft or ships and the rapidly fluctuating incoherent echoes from precipitation is readily apparent.

Students learn how to forecast the weather and how to understand climate change. The emphasis of the Bachelor of Science degree program is on developing a broad understanding of the fundamental physical and dynamic processes governing the motions and behavior of the atmosphere, and its interactions with the underlying land and ocean surfaces. Basic courses in chemistry, physics, and mathematics are the prerequisite foundation on which the meteorology program is built. Students who wish to pursue an undergraduate meteorology degree should have a strong high school or equivalent background in mathematics and the sciences prior to enrollment. This program meets all the U.S. federal government civil service requirements for classification as a meteorologist and the

About Us Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology Introduction: The Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research, more briefly known as the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology (OFCM), is an interdepartmental office established because Congress and the Executive Office of the President recognized the importance of full coordination of federal meteorological activities. The Department of Commerce formed the OFCM in 1964 in response to Public Law 87-843. Samuel P. Williamson is the Federal Coordinator. Mission: To ensure the effective use of federal meteorological resources by leading the systematic coordination of operational weather requirements and services, and supporting research, among the federal agencies. Activities: Operational Processing Centers (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Prediction and Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution, the Air Force Weather Agency, and the Navy's Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center and Naval Oceanographic Office). The OFCM recently restructured the interagency coordinating process to better match the federal agencies' perspectives, focus areas, and priorities for the 21st century and, at the same time, reduced the number of groups needed to support the infrastructure.

What is the reality in agriculture? Few products are ever operationally used and if so, only by richer commercial farmers or directly by government institutions, not by any other groups of farmers. Can we do something about this? Now that the world of disasters is actually changing everywhere! In under-industrialized countries, Governments, NGOs, Civil Society and various groups of left-out farmers become much more aware that the bridge has to be built in a strong and pragmatic way. These were my opening statements at a recent faculty seminar at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa, where I am a visiting professor for several months. In this and several other recent seminars and lectures here, I have given examples of where this gap between scientific products from NMHSs, Agricultural Research Institutes and Universities on one side and farming on the other side was successfully bridged, why and how. I made use of the examples of our INSAM contest but below I am giving some that have not yet been submitted. It will also become clear what is behind the many failures.

Enter your search terms Submit search form Web essortment.com Meteorology history The fascinating history of meteorology from Bible times right up to today's satellite technology. Every night billions of people around the world tune in to the weather forecast. What will tomorrow bring? Once we hear the forecast we then plan our daily activities accordingly. But how did weather forecasting develop? Let’s take a look at the history of meteorology. In Bible times the forecasting of weather conditions was based solely upon observations of the sky. This is alluded to in the Bible book of Matthew where Jesus says to the religious leaders of the 1st Century, ‘You are able to interpret the appearance of the sky but the sign of the times you cannot interpret.’ This method of simple observation prevailed until 1643 when Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli invented the barometer. This simple device was able to measure the pressure of the air. Torricelli noticed that air pressure changes in accordance with changes in the weather. In fact a drop in pressure would often signal that a storm was coming. Atmospheric humidity was also able to be measured when the hygrometer was invented in 1644. Then in 1714 German physicist Daniel Fahrenheit developed the mercury thermometer. It was now possible to accurately measure the weather. It was in 1765 that daily measurements of air pressure, moisture content, wind speed and direction began to be made. This was first done by French scientist Laurent Lavoisier who stated,“With all of this information it is almost always possible to predict the weather one or two days ahead with reasonable accuracy.” However things were not as simple as Lavoisier had thought. In 1854 a French warship and 38 merchant vessels sank in a fierce storm off the Crimean port of Balaklava. The director of the Paris Observatory was asked to investigate the disaster. On checking meteorological records it was seen that the storm had actually formed two days previous to the sinkings and had swept across Europe from the southeast. If a tracking system had been in place the ships could have been warned of the pending danger. As a result of these findings a national storm warning service was set up in France. This is recognized as the start of modern meteorology.

Weather or Not? Meteorology is the science of the atmosphere and the variations in atmospheric conditions that produce weather. Meteorologists are the people who study weather. Throughout history, people have been fascinated and awed by the power of nature. As a result, people have tried to predict the weather so that they might control it. Ben Franklin made some of the first recorded weather forecasts in Poor Richard's Almanack . If you have cable television, you already know that the Weather Channel broadcasts nothing but weather reports, twenty-four hours a day. Clearly, people care about the weather. What's the weather like today? Once upon a time, people answered that question by looking outside. Today, we watch television or listen to the radio. Meteorologists use advanced computer and satellite technology to get instant weather reports. At any moment, we can know the weather. What will the weather be like tomorrow? That question is a little tougher. Once upon a time, people had no idea what future weather would be. Today, we can get reliable weather forecasts and warnings. Meteorologists track storms in order to warn people of approaching danger. We can't control the weather, but we can control some of its destruction. While Ben Franklin chased storms on horseback, modern meteorologists chase storms from high-tech weather centers using computerized data obtained by satellite.

Students studying geology as a major will elect an option in traditional geology or environmental geology/hydrogeology. An Earth Science major is a broad program that typically emphasizes an interdisciplinary field. Programs leading to a degree may be individually designed but will include required courses in geology and meteorology, and required supporting work in chemistry, physics and mathematics. The emphasis of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Meteorology is on developing a broad understanding of the fundamental physical and dynamic processes governing the motions and behavior of the atmosphere as a fluid system. Basic courses in chemistry, physics and mathematics are prerequisites to the meteorology program and are considered the foundation courses on which the meteorology program is built.
