DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom low humor to high drama, TV weather reporting has encompassed an enormous range of styles and approaches, triggering chuckles, infuriating the masses, and at times even saving lives. In Weather on the Air, meteorologist and science journalist Robert Henson covers it all—the people, technology, science, and show business that combine to deliver the weather to the public each day. Featuring the long-term drive to professionalize weathercasting; the complex relations between government and private forecasters; and the effects of climate-change science and the Internet on today’s broadcasts. With dozens of photos and anecdotes illuminating the many forces that have shaped weather broadcasts over the years, this engaging study will be an invaluable tool for students of broadcast meteorology and mass communication and an entertaining read for anyone fascinated by the public face of weather.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite having little to suggest its future as an international site for science, Boulder, Colorado, rose to prominence as a center of scientific learning in less than two decades. A shifting combination of scientists and sponsors emerged in the post-WWII and Cold War era, giving rise to a landscape littered with interdisciplinary environmental science labs that would become the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and NOAA s Space Weather prediction Center, major players among the many agencies that make up Boulder s science community today. This book chronicles the town s meteoric rise from Scientific Siberia to the smartest town in America, including the characters (such as Walter Orr Roberts) the science, and the policies that shaped the AstroBoulder, home of big science, that we know today.
