Come a nasty gale : the response to Hurricane Hugo on the island of Montserrat, West Indies

The work of Gale and Hoare (1992) provides a guide to the minimum mass of bulk sample required to obtain a reproducible measure of the complete particle-size distribution of coarse clastic sediments such as till, fluvial gravel and beach gravel

supplies the equilibrium condition for space. The existence of an equilibrium is demonstrated by extending the Gale-Nikaido theorem to the case under examination. Consequently, the competitive equilibrium, exists, under the assumptions of the theorem

Near-surface airflow over a morphologically simple, vegetated, 8 m high foredune with a small wave-cut scarp was measured for onshore to oblique-onshore conditions during a low-moderate wind event and a high velocity sand-transporting gale event
. Flow across the foredune was characterized by significant flow compression and acceleration up and across the foredune during both events. During the gale, a pronounced jet (speed bulge) developed at the foredune crest, which increased in magnitude
with increasing wind speed. The vertical (W) velocity component of the 3D flow field was positive (upwards) across the stoss slope under low wind conditions but negative (downwards) during gale wind conditions, with upslope acceleration. Sediment transport during
the gale force event was substantial across the beach and foredune despite the moderate vegetation cover and minimum fetch. It is shown that strong storm winds are an effective mechanism for translating sediment landwards across a high vegetated foredune

Winter Gale Day Frequency in Shetlandand Faeroes, AD 1866–1905 : Links to Sea Ice History and the North Atlantic Oscillation
The paper describes changes in winter gale day frequency that took place in the Shetland and Faeroe Isles between ca. AD 1866-1905. The majority of the time interval between 1866 -1895 was characterized by high-amplitude fluctuations in the sign
extent across the Greenland Sea affecting the extent of the polar anticyclone and hence the position of the North Atlantic storm track. By contrast, the later part of this time interval (AD 1894-1905) was characterized by very few winter gales

Philosophy in geography.

The gales of 2 January 1976

written reports of strong winds and to their impacts in the pre-instrumental period are discussed. The chronology of strong damaging winds in the Czech lands from A.D. 1500-1929 is presented with a division into gales on the one hand and strong winds
connected with convective storms on the other. Cases of gales of the century are described. The impact of strong winds is discussed, with special attention being paid to forest damage.

On the subjective partitioning of space

Le concept de diaspora doit être actualisé et précisé. Une démarche d'ordre typologique s'impose, ainsi qu'une approche plus fouillée des relations intradiasporiques et interdiasporiques. Il faut galement considérer les rapports dynamiques et

Exploring spatial familiarity

The importance of effective atmospheric management was again emphasized during 1990 in the UK by the wide range of meteorological events both of an atmospheric and commercial nature. The gales of January and February, so soon after the infamous
