Atmospheric science and A Guide - Resources and Review

Defines hurricanes, explains where they develop and how they are measured, convective processes and development stages.
 
Information about the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission which aims to monitor and study tropical rainfall and the associated release of energy that helps to power the global atmospheric circulation, shaping both weather and climate around the globe. Includes images and data.
 
The ISTP is a collaborative effort between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science. Project is to investigate the Sun
Earth space environment. Includes information for scientists and the public about the project, mission schedules and reports, ISTP programs, and links to related sites.
 
Illustrated introduction to the creation of auroras, their appearance, and location. Includes audio and visual RealAudio and QuickTime files.
 
Guide to ozone formation and destruction and the current status of the Earth's ozone layer.
 
Earth Interactions exploits the capabilities of electronic communications technology to add value to the publication of research results in the interdisciplinary earth sciences. The journal publishes articles dealing with the interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in the context of global issues or global change. It provides authors with the opportunity to use animations and other visualisation techniques that traditional publications cannot accommodate.
 
Non
mathematical but detailed overview of space research on the Earth's environment in space. Includes a glossary of space terminology, and covers electrons, auroral acceleration and magnetic storms.
 
WMO is a specialist organisation of the United Nations, based in Geneva. It coordinates global scientific activity in areas of weather prediction, air pollution research, climate change, ozone layer depletion studies and tropical storm forecasting, to allow prompt and accurate weather information for public, private and commercial use, including international airline and shipping industries. Major WMO progammes include World Weather Watch, Applications of Meteorology, World Climate Research, Global Climate Observing System, Atmospheric Research and Environment, Hydrology and Water Resources, Education and Training. Information is in English, French and Spanish.
 
Tutorial on the role of space science and technology in monitoring the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Aims to demonstrate the use of remote sensing instruments or sensors to 'capture' the spectral and spatial relations of objects and materials observable at a distance.
 
Details of research programs encompassing the Earth's atmosphere, land masses and oceans, and the interaction between the earth and the Sun
 
A collection of web
based instructional modules that use multimedia technology and the dynamic capabilities of the Web, including diagrams, animations, computer simulations, audio and video, to introduce fundamental concepts in the atmospheric sciences.
 
Index to 500 earth science journals, with topics including analytical techniques, atmospheric sciences, cartography, geophysics, mineralogy, ocean sciences, planetary sciences, and volcanology. This French mirror also includes links to other Earth Science resources, some of which are in French.
 
Links to Internet resources in atmospheric science.
 
Designed to assist UK atmospheric researchers to locate, access and interpret atmospheric data, the centre provides permanent archives for data sets from Natural Environment Research Council
funded projects. The searchable archive includes data from the Met. Office and information on ozone experiments, stratosphere, mesosphere and troposphere measurements, sea temperatures and forecasting.
 
GCDIS is a cooperative activity of agencies that provides global change data to scientists and researchers, policy makers, educators, industry, and the public at large. GCDIS includes multi
disciplinary data from atmospheric science, ecology, oceanography, as well as economics and sociology.
 
NOAA's mission is to describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment and to conserve and manage wisely the Nation's coastal and marine resources. Offers information on programmes, activities, data, opportunities and news.
