Chuck Doswell

[Joel Wright]

I know he has retired. But I used to enjoy reading all of his writeups. Has he published anything new lately? If so where could I reach this? Thanks.

He hasn't exactly retired: http://www.cimms.ou.edu/~doswell/
http://www.chatsystems.com/~doswell/

P. S. With respect to the Brave New World in which we live, I couldn't remember Dr. Doswell's web links. I typed the following search string into the Google searchbar: "Charles Doswell". The instant results are as above. :wink:

I have recently been re-reading Dr. Doswell's Meso-scale Analysis Manuals. I was just wondering last night, he mentions Vol III in Vol II. I do not have Vol III. Does anyone know if he ever wrote a Vol III and if so do you know where I might acquire it?

The second link seems to be for the current page (as in the one that he keeps updated)... He does have some very interesting and education essays, papers, etc, on the site, so if you're looking for some good educational reading (some basic, some advanced), just peruse the website. I always get a kick out of reading his Pet Peeves page http://webserv.chatsystems.com/~doswell/pe...Pet_Peeves.html

Yes, the pet peeves are good. Here's one that had me rolling:

"propagation" is a $5 word and "movement" is only a 5-cent word

Here's my #1 pet peeve: "The KS/OK (or any two states) border"

It's not a border, it's a state line.

:roll:

It's not a border, it's a state line.

:roll:

Just for fun:

Border:
# A part that forms the outer edge of something.
# A decorative strip around the edge of something, such as fabric.
# A strip of ground, as at the edge of a garden or walk, in which ornamental plants or shrubs are planted.
# The line or frontier area separating political divisions or geographic regions; a boundary

I guess a state-line and a border are synonymous

If I remember correctly Chuck never completed Volume III. I certainly don't have it.

Reminds me of a volcanology book I have, written for laymen. A quote therein: "Geologists like to give big names to rocks."

Met him for the first time, Friday. He gave a great talk on the Past, Present and Future of storm chasing at California U of PA. A great guy indeed. Very sincere person, not afraid to speak the truth.
