| The importance of the vertical transports of heat, moisture, vorticity, and momentum by cumulus clouds has long been recognized not only in the numerical predictions of weather and climate but also in the simulation studies on mesoscale circulations such as tropical convective systems, mid- latitude frontogenesis, and the sea-land breeze. However, it is impractical to resolve those individual cumulus clouds because of the distinct scale difference between them and larger-scale ... |

| A world-wide network of gummed film stations was established to monitor fallout following Operation Castle. Although meteorological data were poor, a general connection of tropospheric flow patterns with observed fallout was evident. There was a tendency for debris to remain in tropical latitudes, with incursions into the temperate regions associated with meterological disturbances of the predominately zonal flow. As the season advanced, such incursions became more evident. Outside of the ... |

| As circumscribed by Baehni the genus Pouteria consists of a heterogeneous assemblage of over 300 species pantropical in distribution. The wood anatomy also reflects the tremendous heterogeneity and makes identification based on the wood all but impossible. This author has elected to follow Aubreville's system that reduces Pouteria to less than 50 species confined to the American tropics. As a result, the American species of Pouteria comprise a very homogenous ... |
