Long description: Die Art und Weise, wie die Menschen über das alltägliche und zugleich so komplexe Wetter nachdenken, hat eine überraschende Geschichte. Bevor die Meteorologie um 1850 eine Physik der Atmosphäre wurde, gab es verschiedene Formen des Wetterwissens: eine, die nach Naturgesetzen forschte, aber auch eine, die Wetterzeichen sammelte und eine, die das Wetter als Teil eines natürlichen Organismus untersuchte. Diesen verschiedenen historischen Wissensformen und ihren Akteuren geht die vorliegende Studie auf den Grund. Untersucht wird, wie sich die moderne Meteorologie aus ihnen entwickelte – und auch, welches Wissen dabei verlorenging. Biographical note: Linda Richter ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin in der AG Wissenschaftsgeschichte an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.

During the West African Monsoon, convective systems generate the largest part of annual precipitation. We investigate their predictability by conducting high-resolution ensemble simulations with the COSMO model, focusing on the impact of the land surface. Are land-surface – atmosphere interactions in West Africa as important for precipitation forecasts as larger-scale conditions? What are the main physical processes?

About 450 million people live in the 18 States that set up the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Thirty years ago, they established an independent institution with a clearly defined objective. It was not to be a university-type institute for research, neither was it to be an operational weather forecast office. It would combine the scientific and technical resources of its Member States to use the most powerful computers in order to extend the range of weather forecasts beyond two or three days, the limit of useful forecasts at that time. It would be small; the work force was to be limited to about 150, including administrative and other support staff. In 2005, 30 years after the Convention was signed, the staff totalled about 160. The Centre attracted the best talent in its specific field of endeavour. Each year about ten scientists left, to be replaced by newcomers bringing younger minds and fresh ideas. It is not surprising that it quickly became a world leader in its field. It is widely recognised as having maintained its leading position. This book considers how the Centre was conceived in the confusing and difficult political period of the 1960s in Europe. It summarises the political, scientific, technical and financial discussions that led to the drafting of its Convention, and how it came to be built 60 km west of London, England.

Bien que les météorites aient depuis toujours fasciné les hommes, l'intérêt scientifique pour ces pierres tombées du ciel s'est, depuis quelques années, considérablement accru. A travers elles, l'évolution géologique des corps célestes les plus massifs peut être appréhendée. Elles nous aident aussi à comprendre les mécanismes de formation des systèmes solaires. Certaines - les chondrites carbonées -, riches en molécules organiques complexes, ont permis de renouveler les questionnements sur l'apparition de la vie. Depuis l'ère " suspicieuse " jusqu'aux recherches les plus contemporaines, cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire naturelle et scientifique de ces échantillons extra-terrestres.
