This article introduces the synoptic catalog, a computerized combination of a hospital library catalog and a bookseller's catalog. Majors Scientific Books and Richmond Memorial Hospital Libraries in Virginia collaborated to develop the model. A logical evolution in catalog theory and practice, the design expands the identification, collocation, and evaluation functions of the traditional librar...

1 Dept. of Meteorology and IPRC, Univ. of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA * Corresponding author address: Prof. Tim Li, Dept. of Meteorology and IPRC, Univ. of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA; E-mail: [email protected] In this paper we review the observed structure and evolution characteristics of the western North Pacific monsoon on various time scales, including its annual cycle, synoptic wave act...

Past climatological research has not quantitatively defined the synoptic-scale circulation deviations responsible for anomalous summer-season precipitation totals in the southeastern United States. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to determine the synoptic-scale controls of wet and dry multiday periods during the summer within a portion of the southeastern United States as well a...

The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

At temperate latitudes the synoptic patterns of bird migration are strongly structured by the presence of cyclones and anticyclones, both in the horizontal and altitudinal dimensions. In certain synoptic conditions, birds may efficiently cross regions with opposing surface wind by choosing a higher flight altitude with more favourable wind. We observed migratory passerines at mid-latitudes that...
