"For more than 127 years POWER magazine has been
considered
the
definitive information source for the power generation market. We
covered the earliest advances of steam power plants in the 1800s and
addressed energy supply issues during World Wars I and II. We were the
first to report on the birth of nuclear power, and today we report on
modern advanced power technologies, including wind, solar, tidal, and
ultrasupercritical generation. Our coverage of the worldwide power
generation industry, which includes all fuel types and generation
technologies, has never been more critical as the world grapples with
so many supply options and regulatory hurdles."

New Unpublished Manuscript - Hurricane Isabel Intensity
Recent dropsonde observations in hurricane Isabel provided
unprecedented high quality data on eyewall: air temperature, relative
humidity and sea surface temperature. This January 2007 manuscript
shows that eyewall temperature and humidity can be used to calculate
minimum eyewall pressure and maximum wind speed.
