...Arctic Spillover. Whenever a trough hovered over the eastern Mediterranean in the vicinity of Cyprus during most of October, while another hung over the Atlantic off the coast of Spain (the position of the troughs this year), Israel's rainfall was from 20% to 55% below normal for the next three months. When the Mediterranean trough showed up near Italy during October and the corresponding Atlantic trough was located off the U.S. coast, Israeli winter rainfall was from 20% to 60% above normal. Krown also determined that in each of the three years of normal rainfall during the November...
...position and movement of the troughs are significant, says Krown, because they are associated with the streams of cold air that suddenly spill down from the Arctic every October, bringing clouds and rain to herald the change of seasons. "If I am finally proved right," he says, "there ought to be similar findings at similar latitudes." The latitudes he is talking about are between 30° and 50° north of the equator, which includes the southern part of the U.S., where both agriculture and business could benefit from more accurate long-range weather forecasting...
From the Continental Divide to the Pacific shore, the Mexican border to the Arctic Ocean, only one statehouse remained in Democratic control last week. Even the lone holdout in Salt Lake City most likely would have fallen to the G.O.P. if Governor Calvin Rampton did not have two more years to serve. Of all the West's Democratic gubernatorial candidates, only Incumbent John Burns in Hawaii survived the pervasive Republican wind. Another possible Democratic winner is Alaska's William Egan, who withdrew an early concession in hopes that a recount and a tally of absentee ballots would return...
...then merrily moves in for the kill. Tony in retaliation tells Virna that Scott has "grabbed the Big Knob" in combat over Korea, and then merrily marries the girl before his rival can edit the obit. Scott in reprisal busts up the formation again. Tony is shipped off to arctic survival school, where the poor twerp shaves in leftover coffee, sleeps with a nice warm sled dog and sits miserably slurping puree of blubber in the path of a polar blizzard. Scott meanwhile reclines contentedly (though temporarily) in the soft white arms of Tony's missus, who comfily explains...
...course or moderate its impact. Silver-iodide seeding has revived its once-faltering reputation, and many future plans revolve around seeding everything from tornadoes to typhoons. The Soviets are testing sound as a possible way to disperse fog, have even suggested damming the Bering Strait to make the Arctic warmer. Several countries have suggested melting part of the icecap by coating it with heat-absorbing carbon. U.S. scientists are considering the possibility of generating dust clouds in space to form sunshades, or creating broad bands of ice-crystal cirrus clouds that would allow the ground beneath to cool...
