Pages : 659
Book Description
About Junkins novel Orchards of Almonds: Don Junkins semi-autobiographical novel, Orchards of Almonds, blossoms with a Camelot-studded cast of characters that includes Kennedys alive and dead, LBJ and company, Reagan, and dozens of California politicos, academics, Viet Nam protesters and movie stars. . . . Junkinsas much the poet in design as in languagehas achieved another triumph of deftness, irony and grace. Allen Josephs (On Hemingway and Spain) I was bowled over by Puss. I have never read, in any other literary work, such a profoundly pure and honest and dead-on rendering of the young girl. And that coupled with her extraordinary father/daughter relationship, it moved me deeply. He did for that relationship what Hemingway did for father and son in Indian Camp.

Objective Prediction of Fine Scale Variations in Radiation Fog Intensity
Author: William Richard Tahnk
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airports
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
An examination of objective forecast techniques using sensor equivalent visibility to forecast fine scale variations in visibility was conducted with approximately two yr of radiation fog data collected in the AFCRL mesonet-work. Using stepwise screening regression and Regression Estimation of Event Probability (REEP) techniques, the results demonstrated the usefulness of a network of remote sensors around an airfield in objectively predicting short time scale fluctuations of airfield runway visibility. The REEP technique in particular generated exceedance probabilities that display positive skill relative to a conditional climatology model (Markov) of proven validity. Skill by subjective forecasters was also demonstrated using the REEP output as guidance in the generation of short-range forecasts out to one hr. The necessity for additional network stations away from the runway was demonstrated since statistical techniques utilizing runway visibility observations only, when applied to independent data, showed large negative skill relative to the Markov model in contrast to positive skill achieved using 8 network stations of varying distances out to 16 km from the runway.

Fog at Hillingdon
Author: David K Langford
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623493323
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
While fog does not come easily or frequently to Central Texas, when it does, it inspires moments of quiet and reflection. David K. Langford captures those moments here in stirring images of the comings and goings of fog on Hillingdon Ranch, family land that has benefited from the stewardship of six generations. These photographs in turn inspired an essay by writer Rick Bass that takes him back to his own memories of fog—in the Texas Hill Country and elsewhere. Fog at Hillingdon includes a personal note by Langford on his techniques and camera equipment. Apt historic or contemporary quotations selected by Myrna Langford accompany many of the photographs and reflect the moods and sentiments fog often evokes.
