The overall objective was to study air-sea interaction on 1- to 100-km horizontal scales in a region of the open ocean characterized by strong horizontal gradients in upper ocean and sea surface properties. Among the specific questions addressed by this investigation were how lower atmospheric fluxes vary horizontally on scales determined by scales of oceanic variability, how strong horizontal sea surface temperature gradients associated with fronts affect the structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer, what the magnitudes of changes in surface roughness, stress, and drag coefficients associated with cross-frontal gradients in SST are, and others.

50. DE WETTEN VAN BUYS BALLOT, DOPPLER EN FERREL; ERE WIE ERE TOEKOMT Amsterdam. Kort daarna bleek dat de Amerikaan william ferrel reedseen jaar eerder had ontdekt wat Buys Ballot aantoonde. Uit de http://www.knmi.nl/voorl/nader/dewettenvanbuysballotferrelendoppler.htm

Achtergrond De wetten van Buys Ballot, Doppler en Ferrel: ere wie ere toekomt "Met de rug naar de wind, ligt het lagedrukgebied op het noordelijk halfrond links en het hogedrukgebied rechts ." Zo luidt in eenvoudige bewoordingen de wet van Buys Ballot, die in geen boek op dit gebied ontbreekt. We zijn met recht trots op Buys Ballot: hij heeft er niet alleen voor gezorgd dat het KNMI er kwam, maar bracht ook de internationale samenwerking in de meteorologie op gang, introduceerde de weerkaart, het weerbericht en de stormwaarschuwingen, zorgde voor de oprichting van het meetnet en deed hier de eerste ozonwaarnemingen in het midden van de twintigste eeuw. Als onderzoeker was hij een man van de praktijk en zo kon hij uit waarnemingen het verband tussen luchtdruk en wind aantonen. Dat leidde tot de beroemde wet waarvan hij in 1857 het eerst melding maakte bij de Koninklijke Academie van Wetenschappen in Amsterdam. Kort daarna bleek dat de Amerikaan William Ferrel reeds een jaar eerder had ontdekt wat Buys Ballot aantoonde. Uit de brieven die over en weer gingen bleek dat Ferrel de eer graag de Nederlander schonk en zo is het de wet van Buys Ballot gebleven. Iets soortgelijks speelde zich af tussen Doppler en Buys Ballot. De Oostenrijkse natuurkundige Johann Christian Doppler is bekend geworden door het naar hem genoemde effect. Hij beschreef in 1842 het principe dat een door een bron uitgezonden trilling anders wordt waargenomen als de bron zich ten opzichte van de waarnemer beweegt. Denk maar aan de toonverandering bij een passerende auto met sirene.

Information ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSITY The University of New Mexico is today recognized as one of the nation's major research universities, with nationally acclaimed programs in areas as diverse as medicine, fine arts, engineering, and law. But it wasn't always that way. When Bernard Rodey steered the enabling legislation through the Territorial Legislature to create UNM on Feb. 28, 1889, there wasn't a single public high school in the territory, and most people believed a university was a frill the impoverished territory could ill afford. When the university opened its doors three years later, the majority of the 75 students were in the Preparatory Department which graduated high school students. The only other department, the Normal School, enrolled six public school teachers. Although college-level classes and departments began to be added the following year, it would not be until WWI ended in 1918 that the university stopped taking in high school students. UNM's second and third presidents, Clarence Herrick (1897-1901) and William Tight (1901-1909), both geologists, placed emphasis early on for including the sciences in the university curriculum. Although Herrick's tenure was cut short because of health reasons, Tight was the epitome of a hands-on president. In addition to teaching geology and chemistry, he dug a well and irrigation ditches, laid out campus landscaping, took the student body into the Sandia Mountains to bring back trees, and built the first fraternity building, the Estufa, on campus, using the construction of the oval building as a way to teach calculus.
