Compendium of pesticide common names "For purposes of trade, registration and legislation, and for use in popular and scientific publications, pesticides need names that are short, distinctive, non-proprietary and widely-accepted. Systematic chemical names are rarely short and are not convenient for general use, and so standards bodies assign common names to pesticides. More than 1000 of these pesticide names have been assigned by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This Compendium is believed to be the only place where all of the ISO-approved names of chemical pesticides are listed. It also includes approved names from national bodies for pesticides that do not have ISO names." |

comprehensive glossary of weather terms for storm spotters "This glossary contains weather-related terms that may be either heard or used by severe local storm spotters or spotter groups. Its purposes are 1) to achieve some level of standardization in the definitions of the terms that are used, and 2) provide a reference from which the meanings of any terms, especially the lesser-used ones, can be found. The idea is to allow smooth and effective communication between storm spotters and forecasters, and vice versa." |
