A study was made of the 3163 replies to the question of continuity during hailfall on all hail reports obtained from non-trained voluntary observers and by personal surveys during the 1963 hail season in Central Alberta, in order to determine the nature of hailstorms. The hailswath of the July 14 major storm featured very large hail in two small areas, and regions of rain-but-no-hail embedded within the swath. The largest hail was related to several small and intense radar echoes, during the first 22 minutes of their existence. Data indicate that Alberta hailstorms appear more or less continuous when studied on a coarse scale; however, when data are available on a finer scale, intermittency becomes evident, which points to the conclusion that hailstorms are composed of a number of small, individual, hail-producing cells acting together within storms.

An adequate portrayal of the global distribution of kinetic energy is fundamental to our understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere. Since there are insufficient wind observations to carry out direct computations it is customary to supplement them with pressure or geopotential height data and to use space and time continuity to obtain analyzed weather maps. [...]

Since 1946 the development of the electronic computer has simplified and speeded up the processing of data of all types. Consequently, many scientific problems have either become tractable for the first time or can now be approached in a more rigorous and less subjective manner. Specifically, the study of meteorology, in all its aspects, has gained new impetus from the introduction of machine methods. [...]

<p> Temperature, pressure, and relative humidity within Jinapsan Cave on Guam were compiled and analyzed over a five-month period to gain a better understanding of this environment. Temperatures within the cave hover around ~26&deg;C with no apparent influences except the mean annual temperature, with humidity values over 90%. There is high fidelity between outside and internal air pressures indicating no pressure differential exists and pressure changes are a result of kinematic wave flow. A mild correlation exists between a cave speleothem's drip rate and outside pressure. The cave's tidal pool compared to oceanic tides show a lag of 1-2 hours and amplitude dampening. The tidal pool's temperature is 25.7&deg;C, signifying no mass transfer of water occurs. Tropical cave studies are rare, but are important for paleoclimate research using cave speleothems as proxies. This study determined cave meteorological factors that affect speleothem development to allow for more accurate paleoclimate studies.</p>
