Scientists and Lawyers Explore Weather Modification at AAAS-ABA Conference

Scientists and lawyers look at fraud in science.

Ethical dilemmas: should scientists, god or lawyers decide?

new. Most famously perhaps, it was Galileo’s scientific challenge to ecclesiastical doctrine that threatened to undermine the power of the church. A similar struggle is developing in our society today, except that this time the tables appear to have been turned: the power of science has grown so greatly that we are now able to play God ourselves. Indeed, the questions that are now being asked a...

21st Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting/17th Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction

A Space and Time Mesoscale Analysis System (STMAS) has been developed at Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL) to generate a grid analysis of surface observations. It is a three-dimensional variational analysis (3DVAR) of horizontal space and time instead of pressure or height levels. It is used to detect boundary layer phenomena, frontal zones, and various nonlinear phenomena, and has been used in...
