In addition, contributed talks are solicited, on topics that include (but are not limited to) 1) Climate as a complex dynamical system; 2) Mechanisms, magnitudes, and timescales of processes that affect climate, including greenhouse gases, aerosols, solar variability, feedbacks involving clouds, water vapor, sea ice, hydrological and carbon cycles, and ocean-atmosphere interactions; 3) Physics of proxies used to infer past climate forcings and properties for which instrumental records are unavailable; 4) Computational and statistical analyses of climate models and measurement systems. Specific areas underlying these topics include, but are not limited to, fluid dynamics, nonlinear and complex systems, gas, condensed and interfacial phase behavior, radiation/heat transfer, phase transitions, measurement science, computational physics, statistics, biophysics, chemical physics and geophysics.
How to Waste a Trillion Dollars What America could have had for the cost of Lockheed Martin’s F-35. by Tony Cartalucci October 17, 2012 – Already possessing the largest, most advanced air force and air defense capability on the planet, the United States has recently developed at the cost of 323 billion dollars, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) produced by Lockheed Martin.

Willard Tony and Dr. Who Now some, not Eli of course, have had their fun with Willard Tony, but Eli has always been serious and respectful (oh yeah, well this one was early days). OTOH there are, to be sure, problems with his approach, his papers and his all around understanding of what he is doing, many of which surfaced with what Roger Pielke the Elder called the major game changing paper in the history of the world, and Nigel Steve called crap Over at the Weasel’s , Evan Jones is proclaiming that all is well and fixed. Well, young Eli asks, what do you find, and Evan says The City September 2, 7:52 am  4.) We find that Tmean trend for compliant (i.e., Class 12 stations using Leroy 2010 proximity ratings) stations is fully 0.11C lower than that of poorly sited stations (Class 345). This includes consideration for both TOBS and MMTS
