The processes and consequences of climate change are extremely heterogeneous, encompassing many different fields of study. Dr David Rind in his career at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and as a professor at Columbia University has had the opportunity to explore many of these subjects with colleagues from these diverse disciplines. It was therefore natural for the Lectures in Climate Change series to begin with his colleagues contributing lectures on their specific areas of expertise.This first volume, entitled Our Warming Planet: Topics in Climate Dynamics, encompasses topics such as natural and anthropogenic climate forcing, climate modeling, radiation, clouds, atmospheric dynamics/storms, hydrology, clouds, the cryosphere, paleoclimate, sea level rise, agriculture, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change education. Included with this publication are downloadable PowerPoint slides of each lecture for students and teachers around the world to be better able to understand various aspects of climate change.The lectures on climate change processes and consequences provide snapshots of the cutting-edge work being done to understand what may well be the greatest challenge of our time, in a form suitable for classroom presentation.
This report is divided into two parts: Part I includes the design, development, operation, and engineering evaluation of Tiros I; Part II is concerned with the meteorological uses of the television data. The developments leading to the design of the Tiros I meteorological satellite, the technical design and development of the Tiros I spacecraft and its instruments, the details of launch, tracking, and data acquisition, and an engineering evaluation of the satellite system and its instrumentation are described in detail in Chapters 1-7. The uses of the television pictures from Tiros I are discussed in a series of 11 articles (Chapters 8-18) by the staff members of the U.S. Weather Bureau, Meteorological Satellite Laboratories. Methods for using cloud pictures to identify synoptic scale and mesoscale phenomena and limited detection of wind patterns are described in case studies. Appendix A shows some of the basic photogrammetry used to locate geographically the cloud features in the television pictures.
