A Study of Meteorites Based on Falls and Finds in Arkansas

Derek l/l/. G. Sears

In a refreshingly straightforward presentation, Derek W. G. Sears focuses our attention on the rich and varied group of thirteen meteorites that have been recovered in Arkansas.

.. an excellent guide to the meteorites of Arkansas, and more importantly, to the origin of meteorites"

LECTURES ON AIR POLLUTION M O D E L I N G edited by Akula Venkatram and John C. Wyngaard This volume is based on an AMS-sponsored short course on the subject held in 1986. The authors, each with exten-sive research experience in atmospheric turbulence and dif-fusion, expanded and edited their lectures for this special volume. The book is intended for graduate students, teach-ers, and researchers alike. It contains the following lec-tures: • Structure of the PBL, John C. Wyngaard • Analysis of Diffusion Field Experiments, Gary A. Briggs • Plume Rise, Jeffrey C. Weil • Dispersion in the Convective Boundary Layer, Jeffrey C. Weil • Dispersion in the Stable Boundary Layer, Akula Venkatram • Topics in Applied Dispersion Modeling, Akula Venkatram • Concentration Fluctuations in Dispersing Plumes, R. Ian Sykes • Concentration Fluctuations within a Laboratory Convectively

Mixed Layer, James W. Deardorff and Glen E. Willis

RECENT WMO PUBLICATIONS. . .

Manual on Water-Quality Monitoring (WMO No. 680; OHR No. 27) This operational Hydrology Report resulted from the WMO Commission for Hydrology's recognition of the need for op-erational guidance material on the field of water-quality mon-itoring. It is intended as a practical handbook for those who plan water-quality sampling programs, for those who do the actual field work, and for the training of personnel in water-quality data collection. [1988, paperbound, 197 pp., B&W drawings, $25*]

Hydrological Aspects of Combined Effects of Storm Surges and Heavy Rainfall on River Flow (WMO No. 704; OHR No. 30) This Operational Hydrology Report looks at the hydrological aspects of combined effects of storm surge and heavy rainfall on river flow, considers the frequency of flooding in rivers subject to sea-storm surges and rainfall-induced floods, re-views simple methods for forecasting combined storm-surge flood effects, presents information on flood modeling in tidal areas and risk evaluation of storm surges in rivers, and covers available material on forecasting centers. [1988, paperbound, 72 pp., B&W drawings, $18*]

Agroclimatology of the Sugar-Cane Crop by B. C. Biswas (WMO No. 703; TN No. 193) Sugar cane is an important cash crop of tropical economies, providing energy and raw material as well as food. Recognizing this, the Commission for Agricultural Meteorology commis-sioned this report to determine the effect of climate on the growth, development, and yield of the sugar-cane crop.
