Forecasters Reference Workbook provides operational forecasters with essential charts they need to complete the analysis, diagnosis, and forecast process.

Over 200 million people in Asian countries live on land that will be affected by rising seas. Picture Pakistan, India, and China--all nuclear powers--skirmishing at their borders over access to shared...

The proposed monograph on "Remote sensing of Sun-Earth Climate" is a new concept being established by the author after a passionate research in this field for more than two decades.

Main objective of the monograph is to initiate the use of extra terrestrial remote sensing applications to understand the Environment of the Earth and other planets of the solar system. Environmental changes of the Earth and Atmosphere are being studied based on the interaction of different anthropogenic activities and its effects. The influence of Sun and other celestial objects on the Earth and other...
