Clouds are an influential and complex element of Earth's climate system. They evolve rapidly in time and exist over small spatial scales, but also affect global radiative balance and large-scale circulations. With more powerful models and extensive observations now at our disposal, the climate impact of clouds is receiving ever more research attention. Clouds and Their Climatic Impacts: Radiation, Circulation, and Precipitation presents an overview of our current understanding on various types of clouds and cloud systems and their multifaceted role in the radiative budget, circulation patterns, and rainfall. Volume highlights include: Interactions of aerosol with both liquid and ice clouds Surface and atmospheric cloud radiative feedbacks and effects Arctic, extratropical, and tropical clouds Cloud-circulation coupling at global, meso, and micro scales Precipitation efficiency, phase, and measurements The role of machine learning in understanding clouds and climate The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

"A tortuous test of any civic poet's craft, skill and creativity; this 'pot pourri' of a collection consists entirely of those poetic works either commissioned by Plymouth City Council itself, or gifted at their request, during Sullivan's tenure as this proud and historic city's inaugural Poet Laureate."

"An unembellished and more or less unillustrated assemblage of some of Sullivan the Poet's finest and favourite works - a broad collection of poetry presented 'hard core'. An opus: Centred on one thing and one thing only... The Word!"

Although internet technologies have transformed the concept of professional development by providing the opportunity for virtual learning environments in a non-traditional setting, the implementation of professional distance education programmes still poses a challenge. This examines the best practices for executing technology applications and the utilisation of distance education techniques.

Suggesting that better understanding of conflicts between Anglo and Latin America can come from the study of their contrasting popular fictions, the author compares the traditional attachment in Latin America to government by a strong man a caudillo to the diametrically opposed expansionist frontier ideology of the United States the cowboy who makes space safe for Anglo colonization."
