  • A Vast Machine

    Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming

    Series series Infrastructures
    The science behind global warming, and its history: how scientists learned to understand the atmosphere, to measure it, to trace its past, and to model its future.Global warming skeptics often fall back on the argument that the scientific case for global warming is all model predictions, nothing but simulation; they warn us that we need to wait for real data, “sound science.” In A Vast Machine ...

  • NIPCC vs. IPCC

    Addressing the Disparity between Climate Models and Observations: Testing the Hypothesis of Anthropogenic Global Warming

    Global warming: Is it natural or is it manmade? This issue is of crucial importance for both climate science and climate policy. We update the ongoing controversy. This booklet also discusses chaotic uncertainties of climate models and how to overcome them, presents new thinking on Climategate and the Hockeystick graph - and shows what we can say about the absence of post-1979 warming in the ...

  • Wind Tunnel Testing of High-Rise Buildings

    Since the 1960s, wind tunnel testing has become a commonly used tool in the design of tall buildings. It was pioneered, in large part, during the design of the World Trade Center Towers in New York. Since those early days of wind engineering, wind tunnel testing techniques have developed in sophistication, but these techniques are not widely understood by the designers using the results. As a ... Leer más

  • Making Sense of Weather and Climate

    The Science Behind the Forecasts

    de Mark Denny ...
    How do meteorologists design forecasts for the next day's, the next week's, or the next month's weather? Are some forecasts more likely to be accurate than others, and why? Making Sense of Weather and Climate takes readers through key topics in atmospheric physics and presents a cogent view of how weather relates to climate, particularly climate-change science. It is the perfect book for amateur ... Leer más

  • We Can Go There: How Did We Miss This?

    Have you ever wondered why NASA and other space agencies have been telling us that moving payloads outside Earth orbit is so hard? The short answer is the rocket equation. The long answer is that space propulsion was focused on two major methods, carrying the fuel with the payload, or collecting propulsive energy from a remote source. Every serious space project since we've gone to space has done ... Leer más
