The objects of the American Meteorological Society are "the development and dissemination of knowledge of meteorology in all its phases and applications, and the advancement of its professional ideals." The organization of the Society took place in affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Saint Louis, Missouri, December 29, 1919, and its incorporation, at Washington, D. C., January 21, 1920. The work of the Society is carried on by the Bulletin, the Journal, and Meteorological Monographs, by papers and discussions at meetings of the Society, through the offices of the Secretary and the Executive Secretary, and by correspondence. All of the Americas are represented in the membership of the Society as well as many foreign countries.

One-stop weather database A valuable weather data resource for engineers and project managers, Michael Kjelgaard’s Engineering Weather Data is loaded with data you’ll find essential for designing buildings and HVAC systems in cities with different climates. You get table after table of important weather statistics, organized by city for easy look-up, including tables of weather data for cities throughout the US -- plus 355 cities in Canada and Mexico, and 100 cities throughout the rest of the world. Material is derived mostly from the National Weather Service (NWS), the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), and ASHRAE, and includes notes and methodologies for: *ASHRAE Design Conditions *Ventilation Heating and Cooling *Humidification Systems * Bin Data *Degree Day Data *Economizer System Savings *Air to Air Heat Recovery *Engineering Weather Data

This book reviews the principles of Doppler radar and emphasizes the quantitative measurement of meteorological parameters. It illustrates the relation of Doppler radar data and images to atmospherix phenomena such as tornados, microbursts, waves, turbulence, density currents, hurricanes, and lightning. Radar images and photographs of these weather phenomena are included. Polarimetric measurements and data processing An updated section on RASS Wind profilers Observations with the WSR-88D An updated treatment of lightning Turbulence in the planetary boundary layer A short history of radar Chapter problem sets
