Steve Leyton, a meteorologist with Pennsylvania State University, said the storm was an unusual confluence of warm air from the South and a cold, wet air mass pushing eastward from the Middle West.

As well, winds from the southwest bring very warm and wet air from the subtropical latitudes of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea and are responsible for bringing precipitation during fall and winter.

Meteorologists said the afflictions of the last week were caused by an immense ribbon of warm, wet air stretching practically from Guam to the American Northwest and carrying within it pockets of intense storminess.

But as the worst of the season's first storm fades in the rear-view mirror, another menacing collision of wet air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold air from the north heads this way.

Warm, wet air rising from the central Pacific ocean increases the strength of the powerful jet stream winds blowing from the west, bringing that moisture to the United States, explained Vernon Kousky, a senior research scientist at NOAA.

Due to the mountainous topography of the western Highlands, this type of precipitation is orographic in nature, with the warm, wet air forced to rise on contact with the mountainous coast, where it consequently, cools and Cairngorm mountain range.

The agency attributed the ferocity of the storms to collisions of warm wet air from the Gulf of Mexico and a higher layer of cold dry air from Canada and a storm moving from the Middle West toward the Mid-Atlantic.

These solids can be wasted and disposed of as a slurry, dewatered to a compact, stable cake, or pumped as a slurry to a wet air oxidation unit for further processing to regenerate the carbon and destroy the biological solids.

The atmospheric agency attributed the ferocity of the storms to collisions of warm wet air from the Gulf of Mexico and a higher layer of cold dry air from Canada and a storm moving from the Middle West toward the Mid-Atlantic.

Like its predecessors, the excellent " Free Man of Color " and its follow-up " Fever Season, " this new book revels in atmosphere : the sound of voodoo drums, the smell of rum or sweat, and the heavy feel of the hot, wet air.
