He privately published his memoir of the experience ; his title, Walking With Spring ( ISBN 0-917953-84-3 ), reflects the experience of most AT hikers, that the project of making the whole trip in the northward direction ( the most common choice ), is furthered by a start timed to the weather in the Georgia mountains, and by continually taking advantage of the northward progress of milder weather.

* USA: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's " Great Plains Shelterbelt " WPA project, which was launched in 1934 as an ambitious plan to modify weather and prevent soil erosion in the Great Plains states, and by 1942 resulted in the planting of 30, 233 shelterbelts containing 220 million trees that stretched for 18, 600 miles.

The term " tornado alley " was first used in 1952 by U. S. Air Force meteorologists Major Ernest J. Fawbush ( 1915-1982 ) and Captain Robert C. Miller ( 1920-1998 ) as the title of a research project to study severe weather in parts of Texas and Oklahoma.

The Arsenal's location was selected due to its relative distance from the coasts ( and presumably not likely to be attacked ); a sufficient labor force to work at the site ; weather that was conducive to outdoor work ; and the appropriate soil needed for the project.

Although court filings challenged the legality of extracting the granite ( specifically attacking Salt Lake County's authority to issue permit ), the project was interrupted only by winter weather.

The complete labour expense is estimated at 475, 000 man-days: with about 180 possible construction days in the year due to weather conditions, 2, 500 workers would have worked 16 months to complete the project.

This was an often criticised project, for example for the amount of glare that the tiles gave off in dry weather conditions, or the tiles being slippery when wet.

Construction was originally planned to be completed by June 1948, however, inclement weather throughout the project pushed completion back 16 months to October 1949.

The goal of project WEBROC was to be able to set up a system of buoys, containing rocket launchers, in the ocean to obtain weather information.

The rocket launchings were to be part of the Meteorological Rocket Network and the main goal of the project was to gather inland weather data.

The workers required for the project and their families were housed in camps and settlements and endured Canberra's harsh weather conditions.

Operational numerical weather prediction in the United States began in 1955 under the Joint Numerical Weather Prediction Unit ( JNWPU ), a joint project by the U. S. Air Force, Navy and Weather Bureau.

Eclipso possesses vast magical powers that allow him / her to perform such feats as manipulation of the weather and seas to cause natural disasters ( floods, thunderstorms, ect ), increase his / her size and to that of a giant, and project powerful energy from his / her hands that can stun or kill his / her opponents.

Easley's work with the Centaur project helped as technological foundations for the space shuttle launches and launches of communication, military and weather satellites.

it was mud in wet weather and dust, ankle-deep, in dry, and could be crossed only at the corner where there were stepping stones.

The thunderclaps over the sacred wood at Colonus and the storms in King Lear are caused by more than weather.

Sipping their coffee, discussing the weather, the day's shopping, Fritzie's commitments at the network ( all of which he would cancel ), they avoided the radio, the morning TV news show, even the front page of the Santa Luisa Register, resting on the kitchen bar.

He looked out through windowpanes turned a faint violet by sun and weather, looked out at King's Bridge toward Westchester.

Union soldiers at times used it for sleeping quarters to escape from the rain or other inclement weather, and some of them left momentoes of their stay by carving their names and small tokens on its walls and beams.

The supplier delivers at his convenience in transport loads, so as to maintain two-to-three weeks reserve supply against weather contingencies.

`` We'll have the problem of baseball at one end and weather at the other ''.

She glanced at the man nodding beside her, a man with weather cracks furrowed into his lean cheeks, with powdery pale eyes reflecting all the droughts he had seen, reflecting the sky and the drought which must follow now in August -- yes, with eyes predicting the drought and here it was only June, only festival time again and thoughts of Gratt Shafer would not leave her.

Weather systems such as weather radar ( typically Arinc 708 on commercial aircraft ) and lightning detectors are important for aircraft flying at night or in instrument meteorological conditions, where it is not possible for pilots to see the weather ahead.

The type of displays seen at an event are constrained by a number of factors, including the weather and visibility.

Beacons can also be combined with semaphoric or other indicators to provide important information, such as the status of an airport, by the colour and rotational pattern of its airport beacon, or of pending weather as indicated on a weather beacon mounted at the top of a tall building or similar site.

The programme was made up mostly of interviews focusing on current affairs, and included a full paper review, a weather summary, and a news update at 09: 00, 09: 30 and 10: 00.

The parameters of each show must be tailored in accordance with local weather conditions at showtime: in clear weather the high show is performed ; in overcast conditions a low show is performed, and in limited visibility ( weather permitting ) the flat show is presented. The high show requires at least an ceiling and visibility of at least from the show's centerpoint.

Some years it has been necessary to schedule parts of the Championships at other than the main venue because of weather and / or snow conditions.

The weather project was installed at the London's Tate Modern in 2003 as part of the popular Unilever series.

Modern displays allow weather information to be integrated with moving maps, terrain, and traffic onto a single screen, greatly simplifying navigation.

Modern weather systems also include wind shear and turbulence detection and terrain and traffic warning systems.

Modern dog boots may also be used for other outdoor activities, such as hunting and hiking, to prevent slippage in wet or snowy weather as well as to keep snow from accumulating between the dog's toes.

Modern motorway control systems can work without human intervention using various types of sensors to measure traffic flow and weather conditions.

Modern efforts such as future studies attempt to predict social trends, while more ancient practices, such as weather forecasting, have benefited from scientific and causal modelling.

Modern weather radars are mostly pulse-Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity of the precipitation.

Modern lamps may also have light-sensitive photocells to turn them on at dusk, off at dawn, or activate automatically in dark weather.

Modern analysts believe that the Italian campaign failed because Mussolini and his generals initially allocated meagre military resources to the campaign ( an expeditionary force of 55, 000 men ), failed to reckon with the autumn weather and launched an attack without the advantage of surprise and without the support of the Bulgarians.
