Good hello afternoon or morning, dear friends. You'll find this page something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle.


THIS JUST IN:

Using the Internet Anagram Server, my name has the anagrams:

 A DARN TRIM TYRO
 DORMANT RARITY
 A MARTYR TROD IN
 TARRY AT NIMROD 
 and best of all...

[edit] Projects

Most of my activity on Wikipedia focuses on three areas:

  • Weather and climate related articles
  • Articles on popular music, especially articles related to The Beatles
  • International relations, especially articles related in some way to foreign relations of the United States

[edit] Weather and climate related articles

Many articles in this discipline need cleanup in terms of factual accuracy and writing style. Please help out where you can. Here are some that I'm now working on, or have worked on in the past, or plan to get to soon.

Baroclinic instability

Fluid pressure

Global warming (this one is very good - main problem is people who can't resist adding unnecessary stuff...)

Global warming controversy

Greenhouse gas

Ice age

Little Ice Age

Numerical weather prediction

Pascal's law

Radiosonde

Temperature record of the past 1000 years

Tornado

Tropical cyclone

Weather

Weather forecasting (writing style needs major improvement, especially in light of the importance of the topic)
