Synoptic physics

A synoptic approach

Histological examination of the bone marrow based on an evaluation of trephine biopsies is the gold standard for the diagnosis of bone marrow involvement in non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas while immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis may increase the accuracy and the sensitivity of lymphoma detection. Subtyping lymphomas on the trephine, according to the REAL classification, needs further investig...

Fundamentals of Synoptic Meteorology

The Synoptic Problem

First, it cannot explain the differences among the writers—unless it is assumed that verbal differences indicate different events. In that case, one would have to say that Jesus was tempted by the devil twice, that the Lord’s Supper was offered twice, and that Peter denied the Lord six to nine times! In fact, one might have to say that Christ was raised from the dead more than once if this were...

Synoptic Climatology: An Overview

Ensemble Synoptic Analysis

Synoptic and mesoscale meteorology underwent a revolution in the 1940s and 1950s with the widespread deployment of novel weather observations, such as the radiosonde network and the advent of weather radar. These observations provoked a rapid increase in our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere by pioneering analysts such as Fred Sanders. The authors argue that we may b...
