• Managers who hire refugees often do so for humanitarian reasons. This approach can be detrimental both and firms. Well-intended workplace integration efforts undermine refugees’ growth. Instead, a pragmatic to employing offers more benefits. Pragmatic explicitly recognize agency skills.

Article history: Received 30 November 2007 Received in revised form 30 June 2008 Accepted 19 September 2008 This paper reviews our present understanding of tornadogenesis and some of the outstanding questions that remain. The emphasis is on tornadogenesis within supercell thunderstorms. The origin of updraft-scale rotation, i.e., mesocyclogenesis, above the ground is reviewed first, followed by...

orogrAphiC rAinstorms seen by trmm. Major rainstorms can occur in mountainous regions when air is lifted over the terrain. When the environment is especially unstable, storms may form that contain locally intense buoyant updrafts, heavy downpours of rain, and sometimes hail. High winds may occur where downdrafts, forming in raining regions, reach the ground and spread out. When a sequence of co...

Flight-level thermodynamic errors caused by the wetting of temperature and moisture sensors immersed within the airstream are studied using data from 666 radial legs collected in 31 hurricanes at pressure levels ranging from 850 to 500 mb. Concurrent measurements from a modified Barnes radiometer and a Rosemount 102 immersion thermometer are compared to identify regions, called instrument wetti...

It is important to understand the statistical–physical structure of rain in vertical so that observations aloft can be translated meaningfully into what will occur at surface. In order achieve this understanding, it necessary gather high temporal and spatial resolution vertical. This achieved by translating radar Doppler spectra drop size distributions. A long-standing difficulty using such mea...

The relative sensitivity of midlatitude deep convective precipitation to aerosols and midlevel dry layers has been investigated in this study using high-resolution cloud-resolving model simulations. Nine simulations, including combinations of three moisture profiles and three aerosol number concentration profiles, were performed. Because of the veering wind profile of the initial sounding, the ...
