Sinopsis

Cold Weather Physics explores the fascinating and complex relationship between temperature and the behavior of ice and snow. It examines how the thermodynamics of water's phase transitions and the molecular structure of ice crystals dictate macroscopic properties. A key insight involves how impurities, like salt, alter melting points, influencing everything from friction to adhesion. This understanding is vital for addressing critical issues like climate change impacts and avalanche forecasting.

 
The book progresses logically from the fundamentals of ice structure and thermodynamics to the mechanical behavior of snow and ice flow in glaciers. It emphasizes the importance of understanding temperature-dependent properties for accurate modeling of cryospheric changes. For example, neglecting these subtle temperature effects can lead to significant errors in climate models.

 
This comprehensive work bridges theoretical concepts with real-world observations, drawing upon empirical data from laboratory experiments to remote sensing. Its balanced perspective, combining theoretical foundations with practical applications in areas such as climate modeling and infrastructure design, makes it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in physics, earth sciences, and engineering.

Among Typhoons And Pirate Craft

Lindsay Anderson

Anderson served as third officer aboard the Eamont. Eamont was an opium clipper built in Cowes. Eamont was involved in the opening of Japan to foreigners in 1858, serving as a dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai, and was one of the first vessels to open up a trade with Formosa. The Eamont was employed in the negotiations for the first commercial treaty with Japan. On this occasion she ran into Nagasaki and quietly dropped anchor, in spite of the fact that opposition to the proposed commercial treaty was very strong at the time. On the following morning 150 boat-loads of Japanese attempted to tow her to sea, being evidently ignorant of an anchor's raison d'etre. But though they attempted several similar methods to get rid of her they refrained from any armed attack, and, eventually, her mission was completely successful. This was in 1858, and the Eamont's crew saw many wonderful sights in that tierra incognita. The September Typhoon of 1858 destroyed several well-known opium clippers at Double Island, including the Anonyma, Gazelle, Pantaloon, and Mazeppa. Eamont was anchored off Double Island, with "150 fathoms of chain out and a second anchor backed on it at 60 fathoms." The waves in the anchorage were estimated to be as large as 40 feet, and the Eamont’s crew had to cut away her masts. Eamont was one of only two ships in that anchorage to survive the night, the other being the Hazard. (See Wikipedia article on Eamont (schooner)) ( wikipedia and david wales)
