Interesting Weather/Climate-related Articles

Lumi

Seeing as it appears that there is nothing especially exciting on the horizon weather-wise for the foreseeable, I thought it might be useful to post some weather and climate related journal articles to help pass the time and maybe get a bit of discussion going? It’s been awfully quiet in here lately!!

Usually, papers like these are only available by paying an expensive subscription or via university libraries and even then the articles are subject to copyright, however the selection below have recently been made freely available on-line

The journal ‘Irish Geography’ publishes some weather-related articles and can be found at http://www.ucd.ie/gsi/journal.html
It’s not possible to post a direct link to these PDFs, however you can use the details below to access the relevant articles from the site menu on the left.

Some of these are hard to understand but this one is really good - I never knew we had tornados in Ireland like that:eek: Thanks :)
