Air motion determination by tracking humidity patterns in isentropic layers

Determining air motions by tracking humidity patterns in isentropic layers was investigated. Upper-air rawinsonde data from the NSSL network and from the AVE-II pilot experiment were used to simulate temperature and humidity profile data that will eventually be available from geosynchronous satellites. Polynomial surfaces that move with time were fitted to the mixing-ratio values of the different isentropic layers. The velocity components of the polynomial surfaces are part of the coefficients that are determined in order to give an optimum fitting of the data. In the mid-troposphere, the derived humidity motions were in good agreement with the winds measured by rawinsondes so long as there were few or no clouds and the lapse rate was relatively stable. In the lower troposphere, the humidity motions were unreliable primarily because of nonadiabatic processes and unstable lapse rates. In the upper troposphere, the humidity amounts were too low to be measured with sufficient accuracy to give reliable results. However, it appears that humidity motions could be used to provide mid-tropospheric wind data over large regions of the globe

Alaska Opens New Civic Center -- The Palindrome

After six years, work was completed today on the latest in state capital convention centers. The brainchild of Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the new center will be a key asset in Juneau\u27s bid to become a destination for associations holding conventions in popular tourist destinations. This sparkling new civic center, known as the Palindrome, lies in the heart of downtown Juneau on Kayak Street across from the headquarters of Snow Bank
