ISCCP central archive catalog of data and products [electronic resource] / by Kidwell, Katherine B.(CARDINAL)308362; Poltar, Daniel R.; International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project.(CARDINAL)308326; National Climatic Data Center (U.S.)(CARDINAL)169937;
ISCCP, designed to produce a 5 year global cloud climatology database by an international array of geostationary and polar orbiting meteorological satellites, has been extended twice to a collection period of 17 years. It provides reduced resolution, infrared or visible, calibrated or normalized, radiance data from which cloud parameters can be derived; coordinates such techniques; and promotes research to improve understanding of earth's radiation budget and hydrological cycle.Systems requirements: ISO-9660 format CD-ROM designed for use with any WWW browser that meets HTML v3.2 draft specifications. [For those who lack such a browser or Internet access, FAICO Information Solutions' NavRoad offline HTML browser is added to disc.].

Burning the sky : Operation Argus and the untold story of the Cold War nuclear tests in outer space / by Wolverton, Mark,author.(CARDINAL)463919;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: The middle of nowhere -- The panic of 1958 -- The elevator repairman -- Lines of force -- A sense of urgency -- The task force -- The farthest place on Earth -- Earth in a shroud -- The big finish -- A veil of secrecy -- The cold glare of day -- The light of science -- The sky is falling -- A pause to consider -- Bigger bangs -- The sun at night -- The haunted island -- The fire of Damocles -- Threats and legacies -- Postscript: A persistent afterglow.In Burning the Sky, Mark Wolverton tells the unknown and controversial story of this scheme to reveal a fascinating narrative that still has powerful resonances today. He chronicles Christofilos's unconventional idea from its inception to execution, when he persuaded the military to carry out the dangerous test-using the entire Earth's atmosphere as a laboratory. Combining his investigation of recently declassified military documents with more than a decade of experience in researching and writing about the science of the Cold War, Wolverton examines the scientific, political, and environmental implications of Argus, as well as that of the atmospheric tests that followed. He also discusses the roles played by physicist James Van Allen and President Eisenhower in the scheme, and how the whistleblowing journalists at The New York Times blew the lid off what was supposed to be America's ultimate nuclear secret. Burning the Sky is an engrossing read that will intrigue any lover of scientific or military history and will remind readers why Project Argus remains frighteningly relevant nearly sixty years later. 21 b&w and 9 color images and 5 maps
