Ever wondered why you feel alert and confident one minute, then sluggish and clumsy the next?
The answer, apparently, is due to the day you were born. That's when the blueprint for our biorhythms - which affect the way we think, function and feel - is formed. Poppycock or fact? To put the theory to the test we asked Melanie Morden to keep a diary of how she felt for a month, which we then compared to her biorhythm chart. Here are the results...

A Study of Two-Dimensional Dry Convective Plume Modes with Variable Critical Level Height
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
; ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of wind speed and critical level height on dry convection above a prescribed heat source. This is done using the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model in its two-dimensional form with an imposed 400-K soil potential temperature perturbation.

Critical levels
The Malay Mail
; THE Semenyih dam's water level has now dropped to 109 metres, and according to informed sources, the critical level would be 95.6 metres. At the Langat dam, the water level is now at 218 metres, and the critical level is said to be 204.2 metres. Over at Klang Gate, the water level now is at 94

Transient, linear dynamics of a stably stratified shear flow with thermal forcing and a critical level
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
; ABSTRACT The transient, linear response of a stably stratified atmosphere to thermal forcing in the presence of a critical level is investigated analytically using the Green's function method. The prescribed thermal forcing is located below or across a critical level. The target solution is for the

Windstorms along the western side of the Washington Cascade Mountains. Part II: Characteristics of past events and three-dimensional idealized simulations
Monthly Weather Review
; ABSTRACT This paper examines the sensitivity of windstorms along the western Washington Cascades to critical-level height, cross-barrier pressure gradient, crest-level stability, and the magnitude of the cross-barrier flow. A statistical analysis of 55 past events shows that the crest-level (850

Delay in rice-planting season seen.(Metro & National News)
Manila Bulletin
; Byline: ELIZABETH C. ZAMBARRANO The start of this years planting season in June for some 25,000 ricelands in Bulacan and Pampanga might be delayed because the water level in Angat Dam may still be way below its critical level by that time, the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) said yesterday.

Mountain Waves in Two-Layer Sheared Flows: Critical-Level Effects, Wave Reflection, and Drag Enhancement
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
; ABSTRACT Internal gravity waves generated in two-layer stratified shear flows over mountains are investigated here using linear theory and numerical simulations. The impact on the gravity wave drag of wind profiles with constant unidirectional or directional shear up to a certain height and zero

Wave ducting in a stratified shear flow over a two-dimensional mountain. Part II: Implications for the development of high-drag states for severe downslope windstorms
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
; ABSTRACT In this study, it is found that the discrepancies among earlier studies of severe downslope windstorms are caused by the use of the critical level height (z^sub c^) instead of the low-level uniform flow-layer depth (z^sub 1 as an indicator to determine the optimal conditions for the
