Betsy's Conference A Gala of Glory to God. This book is an inspirational true story written by first time author, loving wife and mother, Sylvia Sullivan. It is a must read for anyone searching for proof of God's gifts and God's existence. As each of us struggles to understand God's plan and His meaning in our lives, two sisters were discovering the Lord's hand in their divine plan. Sylvia, along with her younger sister, Betsy, attend a weekend at the Joyce Meyer Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither knew what the weekend would bring and both were nervous about the years and miles that separated them. The weekend brought joy, sadness, tradgey, faith, love and a renewed belief in the Glory of God. Only by accepting God into her heart and her life was Betsy able to leave all of her hurt and pain behind her and make that final memorable connection with her sister. With His hand on her shoulder, God inspired and consoled Sylvia through one of the most special and challenging times of her life. This was Betsy's Conference and it is and will always be A Gala of Glory to God.

Role of Clouds and their radiation, circulation, and precipitation impacts in forecasting Climate Clouds continue to be one of the most intriguing and challenging aspects for accurate climate projections. Research on clouds is made up of a diverse number of subfields from those focused on large-scale circulation to mesoscale storms down to the microphysics of liquid droplets and ice crystals. Many important problems remain at the intersection of these subfields and across their associated scales, including questions revolving around the process of latent heating associated with storms that affect the large-scale flow and microphysical processes that affect the precipitation efficiency of these storms. Cloud Physics and Dynamics: Role and its Effects in Climate provides a brief overview to basics in each subfield, followed by a discussion of recent advances and remaining open questions along three "axes" radiation, circulation, and precipitation. Clouds are important because they affect the terrestrial radiative budget, reflecting incoming solar radiation and absorbing and reemitting outgoing terrestrial radiation. Then, clouds are not only generated by the global circulation but also feedback on it, for example in the Intertropical Convergence Zone and the mid-latitude storm tracks. Finally, changes to clouds mean changes to surface precipitation rates. These themes emphasize the motivations of better climate projections and rainfall forecasts better than traditional layout according to cloud types or modeling versus observational techniques. Volume highlights include: - Subtropical low clouds and their response to warming - Forms of deeper convective organization and their radiative impact - The role of mixed-phase clouds in Arctic amplification, and the ice particle properties that determine high-cloud optical properties - Movement of ice particles into discussions of radiatively-driven circulations, adjustments of overturning circulation and jets with cloud radiative effects, and convective mixing - Cloud droplet size distributions, metrics of storm potential, low-level relative humidity and surface precipitation efficiency, and precipitation initiation in the liquid versus ice phase - Delves into the important recent findings and remaining open questions devoted to how radiation / circulation / precipitation from space is measured - An outlook on the increasing role of big data and machine learning The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
