Frequency Modes of Monsoon Precipitation in Arizona and New Mexico

Creator:: Nolin, Anne W. and Hall-McKim, Eileen A.
Abstract:: The interannual and intraseasonal variability of the North American monsoon is of great interest because a large proportion of the annual precipitation for Arizona and New Mexico arrives during the summer monsoon. Forty-one years of daily monsoon season precipitation data for Arizona and New Mexico were studied using wavelet analysis....

Coastal landslides in northern Oregon

Creator:: North, William Benjamin
Abstract:: Landsliding is a significant contributor to continuous erosion of the 150-mile northern Oregon coast. Direct loss of land to the sea by landslides occurs along 47 percent of the coast. The remaining 53 percent has minor shifting of sand along depositional areas such as spits and dunes. These minor movements...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: landslides include high precipitation, easily weathered rock, and high coastal wave en- ergy. Frequency of

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

The late spring secondary precipitation maximum in the interior Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Quinn, Robert
Abstract:: The Late Spring Secondary Precipitation Maximum in the Interior Pacific Northwest results from a complex system of climatic controls. The Secondary Maximum is most strongly developed over the high plateau of Oregon immediately in the lee of the Cascade Mountains. Local topographic organization exerts strong control over the magnitude and...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: Precipitation Days that Selected Amounts of Precipitation was Exceeded for Oregon Stations Bend, Newport and

Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

Creator:: Jolly, J. Christopher
Abstract:: The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...

Global Patterns of the Contributions of Storm Frequency, Intensity, and Seasonality to Interannual Variability of Precipitation

Creator:: Good, Stephen P., Guan, Kaiyu, and Caylor, Kelly K.
Abstract:: Interannual variation in precipitation totals is a critical factor governing the year-to-year availability of water resources, yet the connection between interannual precipitation variability and underlying event- and season-scale precipitation variability remains unclear. In this study, tropical and midlatitude precipitation characteristics derived from extensive station records and high-frequency satellite observations were...
Resource Type:: Article
Full Text:: identical to results expected from defining the frequency of precipitation at the daily scale as a

Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

Creator:: Harper, Kristine C.
Abstract:: American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...
