	Heavy Weather
		By heavy weather we mean weather conditions and high winds which cause a boat and crew to depart from their planned track and take evasive action to prevent capsizing and loss of the craft.
		The objective of all heavy weather tactics is to avoid knocking down or capsizing the boat.
		It should be obvious that one of the major goals of heavy weather tactics is to keep the bow or stern of the boat end-on into the waves.

		Some of the most challenging conditions you may encounter as a skipper are the adverse conditions of "Heavy Weather." The size of your boat does not have much to do with its seaworthiness.
		What may seem heavy weather to an inexperienced boater may not bother a seasoned and weather-wise skipper at all.
		Handling your boat in heavy weather is as individual as the skipper himself.

		Good advice - since a common reason why sailors get caught in heavy weather is because they disregard weather warnings in their rush to get to the next harbour or home port.
		In Heavy Weather Sailing (International Marine), Adlard Coles writes, "The extra sail required to achieve the last quarter knot places a load on a yacht's sails, gear and crew which is out of all proportion to the gain."
		But for those offshore sailors who have sailed with their storm jibs rigged on inner-forestays and with three reefs in main, this retrofit is well worth the investment and is an excellent heavy weather configuration.

		Although Joe Zawinul's use of synthesizers is heavy (a lot of Oberheim Polyphonic and ARP 2600) the sounds are natural and blend well with the jazzier and "straighter" aspects of the music.
		Weather Report is one of the best fusion groups to come around and this was their best recording.
		Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" is the best album to come out of the jazz fusion genre of the mid 1970's (with the possible exception of Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters").

		Some similarities between this book and Sterling's previous fiction are evident: the Troupe uses the word "hack" as computer users do, saying they "hack" heavy weather, and they've got a similar case of technophilia, but it lacks the scope and the big, innovative ideas that gave novels like Islands in the Net their power.
		The protagonists of Heavy Weather use nothing as handy as a thermometer, but rather a combination of modern and futurist tools, most of which require developing a personal knack to master.
		We are given an environmentally devastated near future in which the weather has gotten extremely heavy due to the runaway greenhouse effect, with a team of cyberpunks seeking the ultimate tornado.

		Researchers at Oxford University have discovered that small-scale fluctuations, which are widespread in the atmosphere, may have a greater impact on weather systems than previously thought.
		Their horizontal wavelengths can be as short as 5 km too small to be picked up by current weather prediction models, which divide the surface of the Earth into grid-boxes measuring around 50 km by 50 km.
		Meteorologists have until now always had to assume that inertia-gravity waves do not significantly interact with weather systems, such as warm and cold fronts, but this assumption had never been rigorously tested.

	HEAVY WEATHER
		eginning with an irresistible invitation to the dance (“Birdland”), Heavy Weather is a brilliant balancing act that shows off every facet of this remarkably talented band.
		Individually, these songs rank with the band’s best: “Harlequin” melting like a timepiece in the sun, Zawinul’s magical portrait of “The Juggler,” “Palladium” dancing like a bug in dappled sunlight, each arrangement a near reinvention of the band that played on the preceding track.
		Invariably, my favorite track on Heavy Weather is the track playing at the moment; even the live percussion solo “Rumba Mama” shines when the time comes.
