Dr. Steven Quiring Q&A
1) Global warming is a very politically charged issue. Is there
currently any unbiased research in the field?

I have a(n old?) barometer here, which has the words 'Holosteric
Barometer' on the front, and also lists the manufacturer(?): 'Ph van
Rooyen, opticien, Amsterdam'.
What exactly IS a holosteric barometer?

It's curtains for cosmic rays
The recent main-stream media frenzy over the 'cosmic ray theory of
climate change' has shown no sign of abating. For wing-nuts the world

Is their a database or database of maps which show all the
watches/warnings issued across the USA during a given period of time?
One which has the counties or at least areas?
I am wanting one which shows all the counties which went under a watch

Where can I find on the net live or almost live maps of high and low
pressure across
the U.S.?  On weather.com and weatherunderground all I have found are radar
maps of temp/storms/clouds/winds, etc...   I don't see any maps for hi and

Are their any products that are very good at predicting the overall
thunderstorm/tornado chances for the year 2007?
What I am asking is, are things like a strong/weak El Nino/La Nina
good predictors of severe thunderstorms/tornadoes?

Some scientist wrote a paper, been about 2 weeks ago, saying we

It was 74 degrees here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa today.
The strange thing is that there are STILL snow piles left over.  The
snow piles in some parking lots STILL look majestic, though they're
considerably smaller now.  Even my backyard still has a tiny patch or

I hear these guesstimates of the effects of global warming on our
planet. The guesstimates go from 50-100 years, then they change it to
100-200 years, even some articles mention 500 year effects.
Are these the same computer models that predicted recorded breaking

I am wondering if there's an accessible archive somewhere on the net
of wx maps and satellite imagery for N. America.

US Historical Climatology Network Data: The WHOLE Truth!

The following table shows the change in degrees F per decade
for every one of the 1221 USHCN stations.  This is computed by

An acquaintance recently encountered severe turbulence at about 20,000
feet over eastern North Carolina after flying in westerly cross-winds
of up to 150 kt.
Due to the SW direction of the wind, he believes that this was not
