Even though computers have gotten better with technology but humans still have a 25% accuracy of precipitation models than computers alone. Weather is considered to be exponential and when initial factors are off by small amounts it makes a huge impact. I think the predictions made about weather are important because many times we are given warnings but act slowly to them. Then we will complain and be shocked when the worst case scenario happens. I think Silver wants us to wake up and be cautious to the warnings that we receive.…

NOAA is an organization that was created by the government for the purpose of monitoring ocean waters and the weather of our nation. NOAA monitors and forecasts the atmosphere along with the help of the NWS or the National Weather Service (http://www.weather.gov/). Both of these organizations have important jobs and both save several every year. NOAA is primarily responsible for studying oceans on the atmosphere for the purpose of learning more about them and predicting impacts of the atmospheric changes. The National Weather Service’s primary focus is to forecast and study weather conditions in the US.…
Mike Smith, an Accuweather executive and author of Warnings, had suggested that officials should have hired a professional private sector meteorologist which would have allowed them to have better information than relying on the National Weather Service warnings and their smart-phones to detect weather warnings (Samenow, 2011.) “I do know the science and technology exist to provide advance warning in order to evacuate people when severe thunderstorms present themselves” (Samenow, 2011.) Hiring a private meteorologist would allow for events to have the information needed in case of a storm like this to happen again. The official should also need to have a well-laid out plan to not only take in the information but to know what to do with that…
Both Hosseini and Foster convey the importance of weather in both novels. In chapter nine, Foster gives a detailed explanation of how the use of weather in a story can change the tone and mood of what may be going on with or around the characters. “Weather is never just weather. It’s never just rain. And that goes for snow, sun, warmth, cold, and probably sleet,” (Foster 70).…
Weathermen, often referred to as weather underground, were a militant radical left wing group in the 60’s that sought to overthrow the U.S. government and tried to get their point across by bombing government property such as bathrooms in places like the pentagon, state department building and more. They were part of the “counterculture” idea which went against cultural norms and rules. Even though the weatherman brought a lot of attention to the counterculture movement by taking action and making their bold statement, they gave counterculture a bad name, they used very violent ways to get their point across that might not have been necessary, and in the end they didn't achieve anything. The Weathermen gave the counterculture movement a bad…
Unfortunate events throughout life have adverse effects on the psyche, therefore, life needs purpose and meaning. Rituals can bring order to an otherwise chaotic life, or create an environment of confusion. In Andre Dubus’ “A Father’s Story” and William Hoffman’s “The Question of Rain,” rituals help the main characters keep up appearances because of indiscretions, or preserve tradition in light of opposition. People develop everyday rituals to keep from focusing on troubles of life or to fill voids of time throughout the day. These patterns include waking up early to run two miles, watching the sun rise over the horizon while perfecting yoga poses, or praying to God at various moments throughout the day.…

How do volcanoes affect the atmosphere and climate? During an eruption there is often a lot of rain, lighting, and thunder. This happens because all the ash particles that are thrown up into the air are good at collecting water droplets. Another problem is that it forms in a fog or volcanic fog.…
Often times, weather conditions are mentioned in order to create an atmosphere and to create a mood. While weather can create tension and fear, the same conditions can also have positive meanings depending on the context. Rain is a weather condition mentioned often in literature. In some instances, it is for hardships; in others, cleansing and purity. Snow is another condition used often, and it can represent almost any mood in a story.…
Atmospheric perspective is designed to suggest a 3D space in the 2D space of the picture, and in which forms and objects distant from the viewer (Adams, 2003). This atmospheric perspective can be seen in the sky of the painting, the viewer cannot see anything distinct pass the mountain, but it is implied there is something beyond the mountains. The atmospheric perspective stretches the landscape of the painting, and makes the painting seem bigger than it actually is. Highlights in paintings are the points that have the highest value in the painting (Adams, 2003). In this particular painting the highlights of the painting are mainly on the faces of the objects of the painting.…
As Foster mentions in Chapter 9: It 's More Than Just Rain or Snow, weather can define a story. Weather has the ability to add an otherwise unknown or invisible mood that the writer wants the readers to feel. Weather is used in stories as more than just simply part of the setting. As Foster says,"Weather is never just weather. " By this he is saying that the weather means something, it is symbolizing something of a greater meaning.…
