		Having been provisionally appointed to the position of Assistant Meteorologist for Maylands, Ray had to provide information to fight an appeal in October of the same year to support his claim to keep that appointment.
		Duties as an Assistant Meteorologist included general forecasting and verification of same, and preparation of monthly returns to Central Office including extra duty claims.
		In his request to the Commonwealth Meteorologist in Melbourne he suggested that Australian National Airways might “allow a substantial concession on the airfares” for him and his family because of the experience gained.

		As a research meteorologist with the U. Weather Bureau after the war, Meisinger melded adventurous scientific ballooning with the more painstaking and arduous task of scrutinizing data from the limited upper-air network of kite stations.
		His principal research contribution was a form of differential analysis that extrapolated surface data to the 1- and 2-km levels by using climatological statistics from the upper-air network.
		During the spring of 1924, U.S. Weather Bureau meteorologist LeRoy Meisinger conducted a series of experiments with a free balloon to determine the trajectories of air around extratropical cyclones.

	Wild Weather: Meteorologist of the Month - Stu Ostro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		While there is nothing wrong with his name, we would like to give him a name as daring as his subject matter.
		He has a technical expertise unmatched by most television meteorologists.
		Congratulations to Stu Ostro, Wild Weather's Meteorologist of the Month for September, 1999.

		WeatherMatrix is a nonprofit organization of amateur and professional weather enthusiasts - meteorologists, storm chasers and spotters, and weather observers from all parts of the globe.
		Given the instruments to set up a modern weather or climate station even a seasoned meteorologist does not know where to put them to generate useful data, because almost no site conforms with the WMO rules for exposure and in any case it's not clear what the observations are meant to characterise.
		At sites in most other environments the person installing the station is clear that the aim is to observe the state of the atmosphere without undue influences from the surface microclimate.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Physics
		About 1270 Witelo (or Witek; the Thuringopolonus), composed an exhaustive ten-volume treatise on optics, which remained a classic until the time of Kepler, who wrote a commentary on it.
		Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, John Peckham, and Witelo were deeply interested in the theory of the rainbow, and, like the ancient meteorologists, they all took the rainbow to be the image of the sun reflected in a sort of a concave mirror formed by a cloud resolved into rain.
		Like the work of Thierry of Freiberg on the rainbow, the "Epistola de magnete" by Maricourt was a model of the art of logical sequence between experiment and deduction.

		This week's TPC is about the weather forecasting surrounding last week's devastating hurricane.
		As you can see from the article from The New York Times, meteorologists deal with the behavior of complex, dynamic systems and live with their unpredictability.
		You'll see many references to complex system concepts in the article - multiple factors interacting and affecting a storm's path and strength, "chaotic change", the small differences in measurement that can make a large difference in forecasts, "complicated physics", and the limits of prediction.
