Diagnostic model output parameters, provided by the Fleet Numerical Weather Central, Monterey, Calif. (FNWC), and the marine fog frequency climatology developed at the Naval Postgraduate School, are statistically processed in context with marine surface synoptic ship reports in order to develop a linear regression scheme to model distribution of marine fog. The study area includes a large section of the North Pacific Ocean (from 30-60N) at 0000 GMT, 1-30 July 1976. The diagnostic capabilities of the regression equations are analyzed through the use of three verification scoring systems. Improvement over climatology and FNWC's operational fog probability program (FTER), is demonstrated. Selective mappings of the regression equation outputs and categorized observations are intercompared with the sea-level pressure analysis; FTER; and the evaporative heat flux--the most significant predictor parameter.

Diagnostic model output parameters, provided by the Fleet Numerical Weather Central, Monterey, California (FNWC) , and the marine fog frequency climatology developed at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, are statistically processed in context with marine surface synoptic ship reports for the purpose of developing a linear regression scheme for modeling the distribution of marine fog. The study area encompasses a large section of the North Pacific Ocean (from 30-60N) . The time period involves 0000 GMT, 1-30 July 1976. The predictand is a fog parameter developed from a quantitative categorization of each of the 4481 synoptic observations according to reported present and past weather, low-cloud type, and visibility codes. The 38 model output and climatological predictor parameters are interpolated to each of the ship observation positions and the resultant data file is used for the derivation of the regression equations. The diagnostic capabilities of the regression equations, along with other existent approaches, are analyzed through the use of three verification scoring systems--Heidke Skill, Threat, and the Panofsky-Brier Probability scores. Improvement over climatology and FNWC's operational fog probability program (FTER, applied at analysis time) is demonstrated. Selective mappings of the regression equation outputs and categorized observations are intercompared with the sea-level pressure analysis; FTER; and the most significant predictor parameter in the regression equations, evaporative heat flux.

<i>A Phantom Lover</i> is a supernatural novella by Vernon Lee (pseudonym of Violet Paget) first published in 1886. Set in a Kentish manor house, the story concerns a portrait painter commissioned by a squire, William Oke, to produce portraits of him and his wife, the eccentric Mrs. Alice Oke, who bears a striking resemblance to a woman in a mysterious, seventeenth century painting. (Summary by Anthony Leslie)

<p>An early example of the female private detective, Jennette Lee’s Millicent Newberry made her first appearance in The Green Jacket in 1917 and was also featured in two later books, The Mysterious Office in 1922 and Dead Right in 1925. Miss Newberry brings her own unique perspective to her cases, only accepting those where she has a say in what happens to the guilty party. She is rarely without her knitting, using it as a technique to put clients and suspects alike at ease, while also knitting her notes on the case into the pattern! In The Green Jacket, Millie goes undercover to solve a case involving a stolen emerald necklace that, despite the efforts of other detectives, including her former boss, Tom Corbett, has never been recovered. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer)

Gerald Stanley Lee speaks here-in of books and self in the time of factories, tall buildings and industry and big city making, the effects of modern civilization on the individual. - Summary by Joseph Tabler

5Anecdotes of the Habits and Instinct of Animals

By Mrs. Robert Lee

Stories about unusual interactions between animals and humans that reflect some attitudes to the wild in the mid-eighteen hundreds, including trophy hunting.<br><br>"Chronically ill and often in pain," the author, Mary Custis Lee, experienced "hardship with sturdy and radiant faith." Maybe that's why she did not turn away in this book, from unpleasant and often gory accounts of animal encounters. (Summary by Czandra)

6Hauntings

By Vernon Lee

"Hence, my four little tales are of no genuine ghosts in the scientific sense; they tell of no hauntings such as could be contributed by the Society for Psychical Research, of no specters that can be caught in definite places and made to dictate judicial evidence. My ghosts are what you call spurious ghosts (according to me the only genuine ones), of whom I can affirm only one thing, that they haunted certain brains, and have haunted, among others, my own and my friends'—yours, dear Arthur Lemon, along the dim twilit tracks, among the high growing bracken and the spectral pines, of the south country; and yours, amidst the mist of moonbeams and olive-branches, dear Flora Priestley, while the moonlit sea moaned and rattled against the moldering walls of the house whence Shelley set sail for eternity." (Summary by Vernon Lee from the Preface)

Muna Lee was a poet, novelist, translator and activist. This collection, first published in 1923, explores themes of love and place. - Summary by Newgatenovelist

By the age of 30, Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, had mastered a vast empire. But the brilliant young warrior-king was unable to master his own passions or those of his generals and closest friends and advisors. Court intrigue thus threatened to undo all that Alexander had managed to do. <BR><BR> Considered one of Nathaniel Lee's best tragedies, [i]The Rival Queens, or, The Death of Alexander the Great[/i] dramatizes a story of the rivalry between Alexander the Great's two wives: Roxana, his first, and Statira, who displaced her. The play was first performed at London's Theatre Royal by the King's Company. It was influenced by Gauthier de Costes, seigneur de la Calprenède's, [i]Cassandre[/i]. - Summary by Brian Fullen
