Folks,
I have a weather instrument that measures temperature in centigrade,
a hygrometer, and a `discomfort index.' It is made in Japan by Yamato,
Model HD-502.

I'm hoping someone here can help me with this question...
I know that we know the record highs and record lows for each day, but
do we know the highest low on record for each day, as well as the
lowest high for each day? Here's why I'm asking...

What is the mathmatical relationship between relative humidity and
absolute humidity?

What this is:
A comparison of sunspots for 100 year (1906-2005) and Atlantic Basin
Tropical Storms and Hurricanes. The numbers of storms are indicated by a
code T = Tropical Storm, digits indicate a hurricane and the strength of

Interesting article.  And some claim that we can predict the mean world
temperature in 100 years.
I am not surprised that private forecasters beat the government
forecasters (Harold take note).

the first thing I should say is that I know very little -- close to
nothing -- about meteorology. I find it very interesting, but I just
never got into it.
A few months ago, while browsing wikipedia, I came across a curious

In the early 80s I built a Heathkit ID-4001 weather station which I have
been very happy with, and which doesn't owe me a thing.  It is however
getting a little long in the tooth, and the newer ones seem to have a
lot more bells and whistles.  Recently the CPU was zapped by a ...

The biggest obstacle to further progress in climatological studies
emerges from the working principles supplied by celestial sphere
geometers.

I'm student in social modelling and I would like to learn more about
the existing modelling solutions. I suppose that meteorology is a
typical domain were one has to deal with huge parameters space, high
complexity and model strength calculation.

I thought I'd come to this group for an answer to a question i've had
for a long time. Cold air is more dense than warm air and yet we see
the same barometric pressures in winter when the temps are in the
minus tens here in the northern states as in the summer. If for

I see references to Shortwaves in Forecast Discussions and I was
wondering at what level (height) are they?
Thanks.

Hi to every One..
Why there is Ozone depletaion in antirtica ,as there is no pollution
and also no,population.
