ALPHABETICAL LIST OF SUBJECT HEADINGS WITH CORRESPONDING UNIVERSAL DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION NUMBERS FOR METEOROLOGY (551.5) AND RELATED SUBJECTS (A THROUGH L). VOLUME I.
Abstract
The present edition of List of Subject Headings with Corresponding Universal Decimal Classification numbers covering the first ten volumes of Meteorological Abstracts and Bibliography, contains about 19,000 terms compared with 7,000 in the first definitive edition (for Vol. I-V, 1950-1954) and 2500 in the first Provisional edition (2 1/2 years, 1950-1952). This list is merely a compilation of headings which have been used in the first ten volumes of MAB, and is not an authoritative list of those headings which should be used. Many of these headings should not have been used at all, or are no longer meaningful because of changing concepts as to detail of and relationship between headings. Nevertheless 80% to 90% of these terms can be considered valid for future use. The user can readily determine whether or not any term listed is reasonable, especially if considered with respect to adjacent or related terms. (Author)
