Any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (including visible light) that is trapped by free atoms or molecules in the path of the radiation, thus reducing their transmission. In the climate context, this is important for the greenhouse effect since water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane absorb certain wavelengths of infrared radiation. Adiabatic expansion/compression (n.) Aerosol (n.) Agassiz, Jean Louis Rudolphe Albedo (n.) Meaning "whiteness,” albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface. If a surface has an albedo of 40%, it means that 40% of the light falling on a surface is reflected. The planetary albedo of Earth is its reflectivity as seen from space (near 30%). Also, there is cloud albedo and ground albedo. The ocean, on the whole, has a low albedo, as do forests. The deserts have high albedo, while fresh snow has the highest albedo of the common surfaces on Earth. Alleroed (n.)

At a recent international conference, to mark his fundamental contributions to modern weather forecasting, ESA's ice mission CryoSat was acknowledged as essential to help understand and quantify the impact of climate change in the Arctic. The Bjerknes Centenary 2004 international science conference took place last month in Bergen, Norway where some 281 delegates from 21 countries gathered to discuss modern climate research and the science foundations that are now being established to make climate-change forecasting a reality. The Bjerknes manuscript (1904) It is now generally agreed that the Earth's atmosphere is warming and the strongest warming is expected to be occurring at high latitudes. The impact of climate change will therefore be amplified at the poles. Recent years have seen record summer reductions, in extent and concentrations, of sea ice in the Arctic, with 2004 exhibiting an historical minimum since the satellite era.

Z Vilhelm Bjerknes Biography Vilhelm Friman Koren Bjerknes (March 14, 1862 - April 9, 1951) was a Norwegian physicist and meteorologist who did much to found the modern practice of weather forecasting. Born in Christiania, Bjerknes enjoyed an early exposure to fluid dynamics, assisting his father, Carl Anton Bjerknes, in his mathematical research. In 1890, he became assistant to Heinrich Hertz and made substantial contributions to Hertz' work on electromagnetic resonance. In 1895, he became professor of applied mechanics and mathematical physics at the University of Stockholm where he elucidated the fundamental interaction between fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. It was this work that inspired both V. Walfrid Ekman and Carl-Gustav Arvid Rossby to apply it to large-scale motions in the oceans and atmosphere and to make modern weather forecasting feasible. Bjerknes himself had forseen the possible applications as early as 1904. In 1907, Bjerknes returned to the University of Kristiania before becoming professor of geophysics at the University of Leipzig in 1912. In 1917, he founded the Bergen Geophysical Institute where he wrote his book On the Dynamics of the Circular Vortex with Applications to the Atmosphere and to Atmospheric Vortex and Wave Motion (1921). From 1926 to his retirement in 1932 he held a position at the University of Oslo, where he died.

Vilhelm Bjerknes introduced an extension of Kelvin's ideas on circulation into geophysics. In this talk an historical perspective will be given on what has become known as the "Bjerknes Circulation Theorem". Vilhelm Bjerknes wrote several papers on this topic, the first being in 1898. As Bjerknes noted, a Polish physicist Ludwik Silberstein had previously published an equivalent result concerning vorticity generation in 1896. In his 1898 paper Bjerknes describes many possible applications of the theorem to meteorology and oceanography including to extratropical cyclones, a subject that made his "Bergen School" famous. The connection to the introduction of potential vorticity by Rossby and Ertel will also be  discussed. Dr A Simmons, ECMWF

Weer Buys-Ballotmedaille door de eeuwen heen W. Lablans, KNMI Op 12 mei 2004 is in het kader van het 150-jarig bestaan van het KNMI voor de twaalfde maal de gouden Buys Ballot medaille worden uitgereikt. De medaille werd in 1888 door de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen ingesteld met het doel de herinnering aan de verdiensten van Buys Ballot levend te houden. De lijst van laureaten telt meteorologen van groot aanzien, zoals Vilhelm Bjerknes, en wordt daarom in de meteorologische wereld beschouwd als een prestigieuze prijs. De instelling van de Buys Ballot medaille In 1887 werd aan de Universiteit van Utrecht bij gelegenheid van het 40-jarig jubileum van Buys Ballot als hoogleraar een geldbedrag bijeen gebracht met het doel uit de renteopbrengst daarvan gouden medailles toe te kennen aan prominente meteorologen. Omdat het feestcomité geen permanent lichaam was, werd het beheer van het fonds overgedragen aan de Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen die meer van zulke fondsen beheert. De overdracht van het fonds aan de Akademie werd geregeld in een notariële akte van 10 maart 1888. Uit de inleiding van de akte blijkt dat voor het feestcomité aanwezig was de voorzitter, prof Donders, die het fonds ter grootte van fl 1720,78 overdroeg aan de Akademie, die vertegenwoordigd was door de voorzitter C.H.D. Buys Ballot (!) en de secretaris prof Oudemans. De meeste artikelen van de akte hebben betrekking op het beheer van de financiën. Artikel 3 van de akte behelst de bepaling dat de medaille de eerste maal zal worden toegekend in 1893 en daarna steeds na tien jaar. In de praktijk heeft een aantal malen de toekenning van de medaille niet in het derde jaar van een decennium plaatsgevonden. Een goede reden om van de regel af te wijken is het combineren van de uitreiking van de medaille met een bijeenkomst waarop de aanwezigheid van vele vooraanstaande meteorologen verwacht kan worden. Zo zal de twaalfde medaille worden uitgereikt op 13 mei 2004 in het kader van het 150-jarig bestaan van het KNMI.

After two years as a lecturer at the Hogskola (School of Engineering) in Stockholm, Bjerknes became a professor of applied mechanics and mathematical physics at the University of Stockholm in 1895. Two years later he discovered the circulation theorems that led him to a synthesis of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics applicable to large-scale motions in the atmosphere and oceans . He then began devising a research plan that would use these theorems to compute the future state of the atmosphere given its present (initial) condition. This work ultimately resulted in the theory of air mass es and fronts . As a primary piece of the modern weather forecasting puzzle, this theory described the life cycle of mid-latitude weather systems (low pressure systems). On November 2, 1897, Bjerknes' son Jacob was born. Jacob would later collaborate with his father and become a famous meteorologist in his own right, discovering the mechanism that controls the behavior of mid-latitude cyclones In a programmatic paper published in 1904, Bjerknes proposed the procedure now known as numerical weather prediction. He suggested that weather prognosis (forecasting) should be considered as an initial value problem of mathematical physics, and could be carried out by integrating the governing equations forward in time, starting from the observed, initial state of the atmosphere. In short, Bjerknes discovered that with enough information about the current state of the atmosphere, scientists can use math formulas to predict future weather patterns. Unfortunately, due to the lack of processing facilities (computers), the calculations he envisioned were not feasible at that time. Nevertheless, Bjerknes considered weather forecasting as the principal objective of meteorological research, trusting that adequate observations and computer facilities would emerge in the future.

Su aporte al entendimiento atmosférico es la piedra angular de los conocimientos que forman parte del diseño de los poderosos modelos meteorológicos actuales. BIOGRAFIA GENERAL Vilhelm Bjerknes nació en Noruega en 1862. Luego de terminada su formación profesional, colabora con su padre en algunas investigaciones, pero finalmente su vida continúa en otro pais: Alemania. Ya en Alemania, Bjerknes trabaja junto a Rudolf Hertz, y participa de sus estudios sobre resonancia eléctrica, y la radiación descubierta por el físico alemán. Luego se radica en Suecia, dedicando su tiempo a estudiar termodinámica e hidrodinámica relacionandolas con el movimiento de las masas de aire. Sus concluisiones llevan a los dos importantes principios que lo inmortalizan en el mundo de la meteorología. Fundamentalmente, su aporte apunta a indicar claramente que la conjunción del calentamiento solar y el movimiento terrestre (que genera rozamiento) son protagonistas de la dinámica atmosférica. Su primer principio es de múltiples aplicaciones en meteorología. Indica que si los gradientes de presión y de temperatura tienen direcciones distintas, "se crea energía" que fuerza al aire a circular en el sentido que lleva desde el extremo del vector gradiente de presión (direccion en la que aumenta la presión) al del vector gradiente de temperatura (direccion en la que aumenta la temperatura) por el camino más corto".

El poder de un enfoque interdisciplinario Un meteorólogo analiza el mar El aspecto más importante del razonamiento de Jacob Bjerknes fue el reconocimiento de que la interacción entre el mar y el aire podía tener un gran impacto sobre la circulación de los vientos, la lluvia y el tiempo. Bjerknes describió un patrón de circulación del aire para todo el Pacífico al que denominó Circulación de Walker. Bjerkens se dio cuenta de que este patrón del flujo del aire dependía de la diferencia existente entre las temperaturas de la superficie del mar en el Pacífico occidental y en el Pacífico oriental, una diferencia que hacía que la presión del aire superficial en las dos regiones fuera distinta. El aire situado sobre las aguas frías del Pacífico oriental era demasiado denso para ascender lo suficientemente alto y permitir que el vapor de agua se condensara y formara nubes y gotas de lluvia, quedando algunas zonas de Perú y Ecuador desérticas. Estas zonas desérticas comenzaban lejos de la costa, donde el aire denso y frío también creaba una región de alta presión de aire. La alta presión en el este y la baja presión sobre las aguas más calientes del oeste (una gran diferencia de presión en el plan de Gilbert Walker) provocaban que el aire soplara en dirección oeste, generando y reforzando los constantes vientos alisios ecuatoriales. Los vientos absorbían la humedad del océano a medida que se desplazaban en dirección al Pacífico occidental; allí el aire húmedo y caliente ascendía, se condensaba y, a continuación, descendía en forma de fuertes lluvias monzónicas que nutrían a las selvas de Nueva Guinea e Indonesia.
