Alden Color Radar: All The Extras At

No Extra Cost.

ALDENELECTRONICS

A color radar system should include certain features as standard. Because while the base price may look OK, it can be a shock when you put together the options that make it perform the way you want.

That's why you should look at the Alden C2000R. We've just redesigned it to include more features than ever—and kept the price th< most competitive around.

Our radar network has expanded. You can access any NWS radar in the country, over 120 of them nationwide. And each has its own customized 4-color background—you don't pay extra for it.

We've also added four built-in range displays, from 25 to 200 miles, so you can focus on your local weather, or display the entire region—at the push of a button.

Our image memory has been expanded so you can store up to 16 images with the standard system, or add another 48 frames if you want. You can loop combinations in time-lapse sequences to emphasize the drama of storm movement.

And now you can collect your time-lapse sequences more easily than ever. Our new auto-dialer can be pro-grammed to automatically

Close-in, 50-NM range (same storm).

Our C2000R/S System adds weather graphics such as these from major private databases.

call the radar at preselected intervals—freeing you up for other important tasks.

We still include the wide variety of standard features that make Alden the most flexible system you can buy. Zoom, pan and scroll, range rings and sweep line. And NTSC and RGB com-patibility that make it usable for broadcast.

In addition to the C2000R radar system, Alden offers the C2000S weather graphics system, which lets you access a variety of private data-bases. Our "building-block" design lets you add either system to an exist-ing C2000 model at any time in the future, with minimal additional cost.

Let the AMS (in collaboration with Mirage Publishing)...

Put the World in Perspective . . .with three useful tools designed to help you understand the Global Climate and the Atmosphere:

The Global Climate chart, The Atmosphere chart, and The Atmosphere Overhead Transparency Manual

The Global Climate chart offers: Five world maps showing precipitation, temperature, and air pressure (January and July); general climatic influences, such as the radiation budget, albedos of common surfaces, the profile of the atmosphere, and general circulation patterns; the climate of 42 cities throughout the world, including their temperatures, precipitation amounts, air pressure, and more; and details about climate change, SMC/J information about the Greenhouse Effect, depletion of the ozone layer, and much more, all presented in a huge, colorful wall chart (34 112 " x 54").

The Atmosphere chart offers: A close look at the major phenomena that determine the events taking place in our atmosphere and some of the ways in which we examine them, including: Global Meteorological Influences, Meteorological Motion, Severe Weather, Clouds and Precipitation, Meteorological Optics, Pollution Meteorology, and Aviation Meteorology-all presented in a full-color, 34112 "x 54 " wall-chart.

The Atmosphere Overhead Transparency Manual is a bound publication-based largely on the The Atmosphere chart-contain-ing 20 overhead transparencies, including Primary Circulation Patterns, Profile of the Atmosphere, and much more. Ideal for classroom instruction!

Prices quoted in U.S. dollars:

The Global Cimate chart (ISBN: 90-72167-03-1) Single copy: $14.50, plus $3.00 shipping 10 copies: $122.50, plus $6.00 shipping

SUDDENLY, ALL OTHER CEILOMETERS FALL SHORT COMPARED TO THIS ONE.

Imagine a ceilometer that measures twice as far as any other, and delivers ten times the resolution. Impossible? Not at all. Because that ceilometer is already here.

Ifs a dramatic breakthrough from Belfort: a vertical laser beam ceilometer that provides cloud based measurements to 25,000 ft. instead of the maximum 12,500 ft. of other such instruments.

What's more, it collects more information in much less time, with a resolution documented at ten times that of other laser beam ceilometers.

Already selected for use by the British Meteorological Office, the instrument is

microprocessor controlled, self-diagnostic and self-calibrating, eyesafe, features Klett Extinction profile, and provides remote monitoring and control plus PC compatible interface.

Learn why you no longer have to limit your thinking about accurate cloud base measurements. Call or write for more information. Belfort Instrument, 727 S. Wolfe Street, Baltimore, MD 21231 301-342-2626 FAX: 301-342-7028 TELEX: 87528 BELFORT-BAL

Cover: American Meteorological Society headquarters, 45 Beacon Street, Boston. The following quotation, describing the intended use of the building, was taken directly from the agreement known as the "Bulfinch House Trust," made on 7 January 1954 with Elenora Sears, Elliott Henderson, Thomas Pond, and James Lawrence, trustees. It was through their generosity that the property was transferred to the AMS on 6 November 1958.

"The brick house, courtyard and stable on the premises numbered 45 Beacon Street, Boston, Massa-chusetts, were built in 1806 as a home for Harrison Gray Otis and are commonly attributed to the celebrated architect, Charles Bulfinch. The said premises, numbered 45 Beacon Street (comprising land and buildings thereon) are referred to as the 'Bulfinch House.' These buildings are valuable educational, historical and architectural assets to the community . . . it is important that they be preserved and maintained permanently for the instruction and enjoyment of students and the public. They are also well adapted for use as a center for educational or other charitable work in Boston." (Photograph by Arlyn S. Powell, Jr.)
