The Alps

The problem of airflow over and around mountains, as originally proposed by J. Charney, R. Hide, F. Mesinger, and G. Goetz, was approved in 1978 as a subprogram of the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) by the Joint Organizing Committee (JOC) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).3 ALPEX will be the field project of this subprogram and, as the name indicates, the general area of the Alps has been selected as its site. The primary observing period will be during March and April 1982. ALPEX will complete the series of large international field projects of GARP (UCAR, 1980; ICSU/WMO, 1980e).

This, the Fifth Donald L. McKernan Lecture in Marine Affairs, analyzes the scientific and political aspects of the World Climate Program (WCP) and its predecessor, the remarkably successful Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). Both programs join oceanographers and meteorologists in common endeavors of great world significance and have other similarities. But more important are certain contrasts in the scientific and political forces bearing on these programs and changes in circumstances that must be understood if the GARP experience is to provide reliable guidance in planning and executing WCP in the years ahead. This analysis leads to a suggestion that contrasts with the approach now being considered for WCP and that offers a fresh start in organizing WCP so it can provide what we now need.

And Behavior

In this work I characterize Darwinian approaches to human behavior and mind, especially evolutionary psychology, and analyze the main criticisms that these approaches have received. To this end I resort to Jean Marie Schaeffer’s criticism of the thesis of human exceptionality and the semantic perspective of scientific theories of Ronald Giere. I conclude that the main criticisms (reductionism, determinism and ideological bias) are not applicable to evolutionary psychology as a research program. I also conclude that it cannot be held a priori that the Darwinian approach is not applicable to the human mind and behavior. Finally, I discuss some educational implications of these debates.

The FGGE Advisory Panel under the U.S. Committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program of the National Academy of Sciences has recently published a document that describes the observational systems and availability of research data for the Global Weather Experiment (FGGE). In addition, many areas of research using the FGGE global data sets are suggested by scientists who participated in several FGGE workshops during late 1975 and early 1976. A summary of the document follows.

The Tropics

El concepto de CISK o "inestabilidad condicional de segunda clase" ha sido desarrollado para explicar el crecimiento de los sistemas de cúmulos y la intensificación de los disturbios tropicales hasta alcanzar de calibre de tormentas o huracanes. Se ha postulado al CISK como base para la parametrizacion de los procesos de cúmulo en modelos de gran escala. Su investigación tuvo importancia en el diseño y el análisis planeando del experimento GATE de 1974. La médula del concepto de CISK incluye convergencia friccionalmente inducida en una capa fronteriza de Ekman, que se supone intensifica la convección, la cual a su vez estimula la convergencia de la capa fronteriza. Muchos modelos CISK hacen equivaler la capa de fricción Ekman con la capa inferior a la base de los cúmulos, en los trópicos. Este trabajo corrige este error mostrando que la capa fronteriza de fricción en los trópicos se extiende hasta la parte más elevada de los cúmulos. Varios diferentes tipos de interacciones de escalas en los trópicos se examinan. Se presentan aquí sugestiones específicas para ampliar el concepto CISK en relación a la agudización de las tormentas tropicales y a la parametrización de los procesos de los cúmulos. 1 Research partly supported by the Global Atmospheric Research Program, National Science Foundation and the U.
