The Emergence of Numerical Weather Prediction: Richardson's Dream
ISBN: 9780521857291 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lewis Fry Richardson dreamt that scientific weather prediction would one day become a practical reality. Before his ideas could bear fruit several advances were needed: better understanding of the dynamics of the atmosphere; stable computational algorithms to integrate the equations; regular observations of the free atmosphere; and powerful automatic computer equipment. By 1950 advances in all these fronts were sufficient to permit the first computer forecast to be made. Over the ensuing fifty years progress in numerical weather prediction has been dramatic. Weather prediction and climate...

Application of Cathodoluminescence Imaging to the Study of Sedimentary Rocks
ISBN: 9780521858786 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Minerals in sedimentary rocks emit characteristic visible luminescence called cathodoluminescence (CL) when bombarded by high energy electrons. CL emissions can be displayed as colour images in a cathodoluminescence microscope or as high-resolution monochromatic images in a scanning electron microscope. This provides information not available by other techniques on the provenance of the mineral grains in sedimentary rocks, and insights into diagenetic changes. The book, first published in 2006, begins with an easily understood presentation of the fundamental principles of CL imaging. This is...
