Extractions: Lewis Fry Richardson served as a driver for the Friends' Ambulance Unit in the Champagne district of France from September 1916 until the Unit was dissolved in January 1919 following the cessation of hostilities. For much of this time he worked near the front line, and during the Battle of Champagne in April 1917 he came under heavy shelling (Ashford, 1985). It is a source of wonder that in such appallingly inhuman conditions he had the buoyancy of spirit to carry out one of the most remarkable and prodigious calculational feats ever accomplished. During the intervals between transporting wounded soldiers back from the front he worked out by manual computation the changes in the pressure and wind at two points, starting from an analysis of the condition of the atmosphere at 0700 UTC on 20 May 1910. Richardson described his method of solving the equations of atmospheric motion and his sample forecast in what has become the most famous book in meteorology, his Weather Prediction by Numerical Process (Richardson, 1922). The unrealistic values which he obtained are a result of inadequacies and imbalances in the initial data, and do not reflect any flaw in his method, which is essentially the way numerical forecasts are produced today.

Extractions: News of Former Colleagues Lewis Richardson Lewis Richardson's great-nephew, Professor JCR Hunt, FRS, of the Department of Space and Climate Physics at University College and a member of the House of Lords, wrote the following letter to Nature: 'The recent decisions of the US government to enlarge its missile defence systems, followed by the response of other countries in Asia who have described this as a threatening move, has raised the question of whether a new global arms race is about to begin. It is 50 years since Nature published the letter of Lewis Fry Richardson (1951) in which he asked the question whether the third major arms race of the twentieth century would inevitably lead to a world war, because the two previous arms races had done so. 'He had developed a simple model of coupled differential equations which showed how the expenditure on armaments of the antagonistic nations had grown exponentially before the first and second world wars. This led to this prediction that there would be a second world war (ie when the armaments of both sides would be dangerously large) in a letter to Nature in 1935... 'The question now is what kind of prediction would result from Richardson's armament models when applied to the current situation which may, as some leading defence experts have stated, be the beginning of a new arms race. The future development is quite uncertain because the model equations tend to show great sensitivity to small variations in relative armaments at this critical stage in the system.'
Extractions: The objectives of The Richardson Institute are: The Institute seeks to serve the wider community by carrying out research into peace processes, conflict resolution, and peace-building, and feeding back the results of its research to inform peace-making in practice; enabling postgraduates and undergraduates to acquire the intellectual and practical skills of conflict analysis and peace-making, which they can take into society in their subsequent careers.

Weather, War, And Mathematics The Life and Work of lewis Fry richardson By Oliver M. Ashford, A. Hilger, lewis Fry richardson, applied mathematician, physical scientist, inventor, http://www.siam.org/siamnews/bookrevs/weather.htm

Ashford et al., eds., Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1993, 2 volumes, 500 pages each, $150.00 each Prophet or Professor? The Life and Work of Lewis Fry Richardson By Oliver M. Ashford, A. Hilger, Boston, 1985, 309 pages We are all in the debt of any active researcher who takes time out to explain to the public what his profession is about. In The Forgiving Air , Richard Somerville, who is director of climate research at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, describes the considerations that go into scientific weather and climate prediction in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in the subject in a general way, from the high school level up. The book is a good read, and there is no mathematics in it other than the powers of ten. Somerville looks at major meteorological phenomena: The greenhouse effect, the ozone hole, acid rain, reflectivity of ice caps are emphasized. A few selected feedback loops, positive (bad) and negative (good), are discussed in some detail. More carbon dioxide leads to more atmospheric water vapor, which leads to higher temperatures. Cloudshow do they feed back? Do they heat or cool? On average, they cool. But if CO levels were doubled, cloud formations would change, leading to positive feedback; the decrease in ice levels amplifies warming.

Extractions: The Object at Hand The circuitous route of Edmonia Lewis' masterwork, a controversial portrayal of Cleopatra at the moment of death, included stints as decor in a Chicago saloon and as a grave marker for a racehorse So wrote artist William J. Clark jr. in Great American Sculptures (1878) about one of the artworks on display at the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia. The person who created it, Edmonia Lewis, was the first professional African-American and Native American sculptor. It is symptomatic of her difficult life and neglected career that her most important piece, The Death of Cleopatra , which caused such a stir in Philadelphia 120 years ago, soon dropped out of sight and was not rediscovered until the late 1970s. Miraculously rescued from oblivion, it was recently conserved and has been placed on view at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art (NMAA). "Lost and Found: Edmonia Lewis' Cleopatra " presents the long-missing masterwork, along with other Lewis sculptures in the NMAA collection, through January 5, 1997.
The Internet As An Emerging Global SuperBrain Meteorologist lewis Frye richardson understood the The 1922 dream of lewis F. richardson 64000 human computers to calculate the variables required to http://emeagwali.com/essays/technology/weather/computing-the-weather.html
Extractions: P erhaps Bob Dylan is right when he sings, "You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows." But you certainly need considerable expertise to know which way it will be blowin' tomorrow or a few days hence, how strong its blast will be, where it is likely to turn and what damage it is capable of doing. Throughout history, people have attempted to predict the weather - usually with little success. In the Middle Ages it was believed that the weather could be forecast by studying the motions of the stars, the behavior of wildlife or the condition of certain plants. Today, some people still rely on the Farmer's Almanac , which uses a 200-year-old "secret formula" and "calculations based on solar activity." Meteorologist Lewis Frye Richardson understood the computaton-intensiveness of weather forecasting. Artist's illustration of Emeagwali's vision of an Earth-sized HyperBall computing theatre for weather forecasting, which in today's parlance is called an "Internet." Emeagwali's vision was, in turn, inspired by the 1922 vision of Lewis F. Richardson, who believed that 64,000 human clerks would be needed to accurately forecast the weather. Emeagwali's illustration of how to design his hyperball computer for weather forecasting. Emeagwali is the first scientist to invent a computer network that can accomplish what Lewis Richardson envisioned. He also predicted that cyberspace will eventually become one hyperball computer with billions of processing nodes.
