winter’s extreme weather not unusual
The winter weather that
has been front page news
across the state and nation
fo r weeks is not that
unusual, says the state
climatologist, who is an
Oregon State University a t

“ One shouldn't look for

climatologist and 1980 win
ner of the A m e ric a n
Meteorological Society’s
award for outstanding con
tributions to the advance

of
a p p lie d
meteorology
“ W eather events are
highly variable over time
and the d istribution of
these events includes a
variety of extreme condi
tions This year simply con
tains a relatively large
number of such events
We've had years like this
one in the past, old timers
w ill tell you. and we can ex
pect to experience them
again in the future ”

Xe,
On the local scene. OSU
atmospheric scientists are
also seeking ways to help
solve the air pollution pro
blems associated w ith
forest slash and grass seed
fire burning
Because
a c c u ra te
weather data and forecasts
are so vital to farmers,
fo re s te rs , fis h e rm e n ,
builders, travelers and peo
pie in general who are
making business and per
sonal plans, OSU a t
mospheric researchers are
seeking ways to maximize
the b e n e fic ia l use of
weather and climate infor
mation and predictions so
that readers and listeners
can interpret them best
To support the position of
state clim a to lo g ist, the
department is seeking to
develop “a good com
puterized set of data" so
better and quicker answers
can be given to questions
about Oregon weather and
climate, says Gates and
Murphy
On a global scale, OSU
researchers are studying
clouds in the tropics and
charting their impact on
the a tm o s p h e re and
weather over a wide scale
OSU atmospheric scien
tists are also conducting
studies of the interaction
between the atmosphere
and the ocean Such studies
provide the best hope for
advances in long range
weather forecasting in the
future, Gates believes
The boundary layer of
the atmosphere - the layer
of a ir nearest the earth — is
getting particular study
from the university's at
mospheric scientists Its
behavior is the key to
u n d e rs ta n d in g
the
behavior and role of low
level m ixin g and tu r
bulence in air pollution pro
blems
The ice fields in the world
also affect climate and
weather, and are the focus
of ye t a n o th e r OSU
research project Here the
researchers hope to be able
to better understand ho*
sea ice grows and affects
the weather, and how the
land based ice sheets
develop over long tim e
periods.
F o r e x a m p le , about
18,000 years ago. there was
a maximum coverage of
ice in North America and
Northern Europe, which
has since retreated just to
Greenland and Antarctia.
Gates noted
Neighborhood group
The
B o rin g
Neighborhood A dvisory
Committee w ill hold its
next meeting Tuesday.
February 23 at 7 30 p m in
the Boring Fire Station
The committee w ill be
deciding on the design for
"Welcome to Boring " signs
to be placed on the four
main roads leading to the
do w n to w n c o m m e rc ia l
area of Boring
The
d e c is io n
was
postponed to the February
meeting due to the com m it
tee's desire to fu rth e r
publicize the sign project.
The signs w ill be approx
imately three by three feet
and w ill be made out of
metal or wood, depending
on design and cost, as well
as sturdiness of the sign
Anyone in the communi
ty may submit a design by
bringing it to the meeting
The committee w ill also
be re v ie w in g
w h e re
sidewalks are needed in the
downtown area The status
of the park, drainage, and
street improvement pro
jects w ill also be discussed
The committee meetings
are open to the public

years ago. the departmen
tal research total was
8100,000
The research on weather
and c lim a te is h ig h ly
varied — some very prac
tical and meant for the mo
m e n t.
some
m o re
theoretical and looking to
the com ing c e n tu rie s .
Gates noted
Studies underway in
clude pioneer work in wind
power developments and
the gathering of sun data to
help bring Northwest ad
vances in solar energy
OSU's work has set the
stage fo development work
with wind power in both the
Northwest and the nation.
Gates said. The world's
largest wind turbines are
now
o p e ra tin g
in
southeastern Washington
at sites identified by OSU
as the best places to turn
wind into electricity
And the OSU s o la r
energy fie ld research
facility near campus is
perhaps the best such site
in the U S Gates believes.
