A Study of the Demagoguery of Joseph Smith, Jr.

Creator:: Fillible, Rodney K.
Abstract:: This study Is a rhetorical analysis of ten documents of Joseph Smith, Jr's. early revelations spanning the period of 1829 to 1831 to determine the extent to which he used demagogic rhetoric in pursuit of his goals. A definition of demagoguery is provided and is applied in an analysis of...

Al Gore Jr. and the Rhetoric of Self-Disclosure

Creator:: Palmer, Scott Aaron
Abstract:: Senator Al Gore Jr. was elected Vice-President of the United States on November 3, 1992. During many of his public speeches, Gore utilized a speaking style that differed radically from the style he used in other political campaigns of his life. This style, which will be called the "rhetoric of...

Confessing Ireland : the colonial politics of Irish Catholicism in James Joyce's A portrait of the artist as a young man

Creator:: Rathert, Gregory S.
Abstract:: Ireland's Catholic Church played an important role in the turn-of-the-century nationalism that shaped James Joyce's identity and writing; yet it also played an important part in preventing that nationalism from achieving its goals of autonomy and cultural independence. For Joyce, this was particularly evident in the dialects and thought structures...

Modeled and observed longwave radiances at the top of the atmosphere

Creator:: Stone, Kenneth A.
Abstract:: One method of estimating the longwave radiative heating of the atmosphere is to combine satellite observations of emitted radiances with those computed from synoptic temperature and humidity profiles. Modeled and observed radiances are brought into agreement by altering cloud properties or even by adjusting the temperature and water vapor profiles....

A complex signal to noise problem : determining the aerosol indirect effect from observations of ship tracks in AVHRR data

Creator:: Walsh, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Cloud reflectivity is a function of cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration. Since cloud droplets form around pre-existing aerosol particles, cloud droplet number concentration depends on the availability of particles that can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. Given constant liquid water amount, increased availability of cloud condensation nuclei...

Properties of marine stratus and stratocumulus derived using collocated MODIS and CALIPSO observations

Creator:: Hayes, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Adiabatic parcel models suggest specific relationships between cloud thickness and cloud properties. Such relationships govern cloud radiative forcing and thus cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Current remote sensing techniques work well at measuring these properties in low-level cloud systems that are overcast. Significant biases exist, however, when measuring cloud...

Toward the estimation of errors in cloud cover derived by threshold methods

Creator:: Chang, Fu-Lung
Abstract:: The accurate determination of cloud cover amount is important for characterizing the role of cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Clouds have a large influence on the climate system through their effect on the earth's radiation budget. As indicated by the NASA Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), the change in...

Modeling and application of multispectral oceanic sun glint observations

Creator:: Luderer, Gunnar
Abstract:: The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...

Identification of layered cloud occurrences from the Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment and advanced very high resolution radiometer imagery

Creator:: Stevermer, Amy J.
Abstract:: Realistic assessment of the vertical distribution of clouds, particularly the occurrence of multi-layered systems, is critical for accurate calculations of radiative transfer in general circulation models. Such information is also useful in the design and improvement of satellite retrieval techniques. Current methods for retrieving cloud properties from satellite data assume...

Satellite infrared measurement of sea surface temperature : empirically evaluating the thin approximation

Creator:: Kowalski, Andrew S.
Abstract:: Satellite technology represents the only technique for measuring sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on a global scale. SSTs are important as boundary conditions for climate and atmospheric boundary layer models which attempt to describe phenomena of all scales, ranging from local forecasts to predictions of global warming. Historical use of infrared...
