2 unusual facts about Climatology


Climatology

A PDO signal has been reconstructed to 1661 through tree-ring chronologies in the Baja California area.

Victor Olgyay

Olgyay also relates methods and knowledge of other disciplines like Biology, Meteorology and Climatology, Engineering and Physics.


Benjamin D. Santer

in Environmental Sciences and a 1987 Ph.D. in Climatology from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia.

Bill Connelly

William Connolley (born 1964), software engineer, climatology blogger and Wikipedia editor

Chris de Freitas

De Freitas, born in Trinidad, received both his Bachelor's and his Master's at the University of Toronto, Canada, after which he earned his Ph.D. in Climatology as a Commonwealth Scholar from the University of Queensland, Australia.

European Climate Assessment and Dataset

One can view Time series plots for each index and station, maps of trends over Europe for each index, maps of index anomalies (with respect to the normal period 1961-1990) for a particular year or season, as well as climatology maps depicting index behavior for two periods in the past: 1961–1990 and 1971–2000.

Journal for Geoclimatic Studies

The spurious study, ostensibly authored by Daniel Klein and Mandeep J. Gupta of the University of Arizona's Department of Climatology, and Philip Cooper and Arne FR Jansson at the University of Gothenburg's Department of Atmospheric Physics, claimed that global warming was not human caused, but the work of carbon-dioxide emitting bacteria based on the ocean floor.

Ralph Wendell Burhoe

He attended Harvard University from 1928 to 1932 as a student of meteorology and climatology, though never completing his degree.

Robert DeCourcy Ward

He spent part of 1910 in São Paulo, Brazil, studying the economic climatology of the region's coffee district.

Smithsonian Institution

Acting Secretary of the Smithsonian Cristián Samper was interviewed by the Post, and claimed the exhibit was edited because it contained conclusions that went beyond what could be proven by contemporary climatology.

Sphinx water erosion hypothesis

Recent studies by German climatologists Rudolph Kuper and Stefan Kröpelin, of the University of Cologne suggest the change from a wet to a much drier climate may have occurred as much as 500 years later than currently thought, coming to an end, they contend, around 3,500-1,500 B.C. Egyptologist Mark Lehner believes this climate change may have been responsible for the severe weathering found on the Sphinx and other sites of the 4th Dynasty.

Tropical cyclone forecast model

It uses climatology and persistence to predict future intensity, including the current Julian day, current cyclone intensity, the cyclone's intensity 12 hours ago, the storm's initial latitude and longitude, as well as its zonal (east-west) and meridional (north-south) components of motion.
