This report is a revision of Chapter 4 of the 1965 Edition, Handbook of Geophysics and Space Environments. The need for geophysical and astrophysical information is critical to the design of aircraft, missiles, and satellites. The Handbook of Geophysics and Space Environments is an attempt by the U.S. Air Force to organize some of these data into one source. Winds, surface to 90 km, are discussed in this Chapter. Information on winds as a function of height, large scale wind structure, wind profiles, and design data on winds are included.

This report documents the culmination of a three-year development and testing effort on a two-dimensional (x-y plane) surface-layer windflow model for complex terrain. The model was acquired from the U.S. Army Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL) at White Sands, New Mexico in 1984. The version of the model described in this report has been adapted to run using real time data on both the Zenith-100 and IBM-compatible Zenith-248 computers. The model accepts input of a single surface observation (or forecast) of wind, temperature, and cloud cover, and uses this information along with terrain information and the date/time to diagnose the surface-layer stability. The model then performs a variational analysis of the windfield, adjusting the winds through a relaxation technique until the windfield conforms to effects of topography, stability, ambient flow conditions, and mass continuity. The model is designed to produce high-resolution wind analyses, typically running on domains on the order of 10 X 10 km, with horizontal grid spacing of 100 to 200 m. We present an overview of potential military and nonmilitary uses for the model, and describe the relevant physics and computer architecture of the model and its two utility plotting routines. A user's guide, included here as Section 4, is primarily aimed at providing operational users such as forecasters some guidelines for using the model and interpreting the output. Finally, we present the results of an operational test of the model in support of Army Special Forces operations at Ft. Devens, Massachusetts. The test results illustrate the model's potential as a tactical weather support tool for low-level aviation and paradrop activities.

This book, like the first and second editions, addresses the fundamental principles of interaction between radiation and matter and the principles of particle detection and detectors in a wide scope of fields, from low to high energy, including space physics and medical environment. It provides abundant information about the processes of electromagnetic and hadronic energy deposition in matter, detecting systems, performance of detectors and their optimization.The third edition includes additional material covering, for instance: mechanisms of energy loss like the inverse Compton scattering, corrections due to the Landau?Pomeranchuk?Migdal effect, an extended relativistic treatment of nucleus?nucleus screened Coulomb scattering, and transport of charged particles inside the heliosphere. Furthermore, the displacement damage (NIEL) in semiconductors has been revisited to account for recent experimental data and more comprehensive comparisons with results previously obtained.This book will be of great use to graduate students and final-year undergraduates as a reference and supplement for courses in particle, astroparticle, space physics and instrumentation. A part of the book is directed toward courses in medical physics. The book can also be used by researchers in experimental particle physics at low, medium, and high energy who are dealing with instrumentation.
