Exploding Challenger And The Polar Surge
The polar front is an area on the earth located at approximately 60 degrees north and south where warm air circulating from the tropics meets cold air plunging from the poles. The difference in temperature of these masses of air causes the warm air to rise and most of this moves back towards the equator and sinks at around 30 degrees north and south, adding to the high pressure systems at these latitudes.
The rest of the air that rises at the polar front continues to move towards the poles and as it cools it sinks and returns back towards 60 degrees north and south. However these flows of air do not move in a direct north-south route. They are altered by the rotation of the earth. This rotation will cause any freely moving object to appear to move to the right of the direction of motion in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern. This is known as the Coriolis Effect and explains why winds travel clockwise around high pressure systems in the northern hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the southern, with low pressure winds travelling in the opposite direction.
Jet Streams are formed at high altitudes where warm and cold air masses meet. Therefore the polar jet stream is located at 60 degrees north and south approximately along the polar front. During winter when the temperature difference is at its greatest the jet streams will shift towards the equator, and during summer move back towards the poles.
A satellite view of the North Pole shows clouds carried from west to east around the rim of the Arctic by the polar jet stream. This ring of clouds will fluctuate north and south depending on the pressure variances of the polar front below. However trapped inside this loop of clouds is the cold and clear air that sits over the arctic ice. This huge volume of air is very stable and has a key role in dictating the weather further to the south. It is an air mass and with the long cold winter darkness and the extreme cooling caused by the ice beneath, this air mass becomes ever more stable and progressively colder. The air mass has now formed a huge high pressure dome over the arctic which remains until a change in the jet stream causes part of this mass to slide southwards.
Over the North American continent there is nothing to stop the southerly movement of this extremely cold air as there is nothing but flat, open land. This movement south is known as a polar surge. This blast of icy cold air is huge and over North America can reach as far south as Florida and Texas, devastating crops and freezing land sometimes overnight. In 1983-84 a polar surge left almost 90 percent of the USA covered in cold air for nearly two months. In Utah a record low temperature of -54 degrees C (-65 degrees F) was measured.
Unfortunately it was a polar surge in 1986 that caused the destruction of the space shuttle ‘Challenger’. On the morning of 28th January 1986 large quantities of ice coated the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. NASA decided to go ahead with the launch despite the warnings from the manufacturers of the solid rocket boosters that the ‘O’ rings might not perform their function of sealing possible fuel links at such cold temperatures. Sadly the engineers were proved right as the world watched Challenger explode shortly after lift off.

Professor Challenger $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles George Edward Challenger, better known as Professor Challenger, is a fictional character in a series of science fiction stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Unlike Conan Doyles laidback, analytic character, Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger is an aggressive, dominating figure. Edward Malone, the narrator of The Lost World, the novel in which Challenger first appeared, described his first meeting with the character: His appearance made me gasp. I was prepared for something strange, but not for so overpowering a personality as this. It was his size, which took ones breath awayhis size and his imposing presence. His head was enormous, the largest I have ever seen upon a human being. I am sure that his top hat, had I ventured to don it, would have slipped over me entirely and rested on my shoulders. He had the face and beard, which I associate with an Assyrian bull; the former florid, the latter so black as almost to have a suspicion of blue, spadeshaped and rippling down over his chest.

The Challenger Sale $14.99 What's the secret to sales success? If you're like most business leaders, you'd say it's fundamentally about relationships-and you'd be wrong. The best salespeople don't just build relationships with customers. They challenge them. The need to understand what top-performing reps are doing that their average performing colleagues are not drove Matthew Dixon, Brent Adamson, and their colleagues at Corporate Executive Board to investigate the skills, behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes that matter most for high performance. And what they discovered may be the biggest shock to conventional sales wisdom in decades. Based on an exhaustive study of thousands of sales reps across multiple industries and geographies, The Challenger Sale argues that classic relationship building is a losing approach, especially when it comes to selling complex, large-scale business-to-business solutions. The authors' study found that every sales rep in the world falls into one of five distinct profiles, and while all of these types of reps can deliver average sales performance, only one-the Challenger- delivers consistently high performance. Instead of bludgeoning customers with endless facts and features about their company and products, Challengers approach customers with unique insights about how they can save or make money. They tailor their sales message to the customer's specific needs and objectives. Rather than acquiescing to the customer's every demand or objection, they are assertive, pushing back when necessary and taking control of the sale. The things that make Challengers unique are replicable and teachable to the average sales rep. Once you understand how to identify the Challengers in your organization, you can model their approach and embed it throughout your sales force. The authors explain how almost any average-performing rep, once equipped with the right tools, can successfully reframe customers' expectations and deliver a distinctive purchase experience that drives higher levels of customer loyalty and, ultimately, greater growth. |

Pressure $87.62 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Pressure (symbol: P) is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure. Pressure is an effect which occurs when a force is applied on a surface. Pressure is the amount of force acting on a unit area. The symbol of pressure is P. Pressure is a tensor quantity, and has SI units of pascal; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2, and has EES units of psi; 1 psi = 1 lb/in2. Pressure is transmitted to solid boundaries or across arbitrary sections of fluid normal to these boundaries or sections at every point.

The Challenger Launch Decision $18 When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded on January 28, 1986, millions of Americans became bound together in a single, historic moment. Many still vividly remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the tragedy. In The Challenger Launch Decision, Diane Vaughan recreates the steps leading up to that fateful decision, contradicting conventional interpretations to prove that what occurred at NASA was not skulduggery or misconduct but a disastrous mistake. Journalists and investigators have historically cited production problems and managerial wrong-doing as the reasons behind the disaster. The Presidential Commission uncovered a flawed decision-making process at the space agency as well, citing a well-documented history of problems with the O-ring and a dramatic last-minute protest by engineers over the Solid Rocket Boosters as evidence of managerial neglect. Why did NASA managers, who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it, decide to proceed? In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers, Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment, supported by a culture of high-risk technology. She reveals how and why NASA insiders, when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong, normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to them. No safety rules were broken. No single individual was at fault. Instead, the cause of the disaster is a story not of evil but of the banality of organizational life. This powerful work explains why the Challenger tragedy must be reexamined and offers an unexpected warning about the hidden hazards of living in this technological age. |
