Abstract. We perform a Why-Because Analysis (WBA) starting from the information in the Executive Summary of the U.S. DoD Aircraft Accident Investigation Board report on the shootdown of two U.S. Army Black Hawk transport helicopters by U.S.A.F. F-15 fighter aircraft over Northern Iraq on 14 April 1994, during Operation Provide Comfort. We compare with the effort of Snook to perform a similar an...

Visual temporal resolution and spectral sensitivity of three coastal teleost species (common snook [Centropomus undecimalis], gray snapper [Lutjanus griseus], and pinfish [Lagodon rhomboides]) were investigated by electroretinogram. Temporal resolution was quantified under photopic and scotopic conditions using response waveform dynamics and maximum critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFmax). P...

Recent efforts to include mobile and other non-standard ground-based radar data in ensemble analyses of severe convective storms have yielded promising results (e.g., Marquis et al. 2010; Snook et al. 2011; Tanamachi et al. 2012). During Project VORTEX2 (Wurman et al. 2010), the field phase of which occurred in spring 2009 and spring 2010, coordinated mobile Doppler radar deployments resulted i...

Early development of fat snook, Centropomus parallelus (Poey 1860), is described based on embryos. and larvae obtained from rearing experiments and from specimens caught in the field, in Cananéia, southeastern Brazil, during December 1999-January 2000. Larvae of common snook, C. undecimalis, were also collected to compare the pigmentation pattern and body shape. Eggs of C. parallelus were relat...
