Kent Ford (astronomer). Temporales are most frequent in July and August, when they can reach gale force and cause rough seas/swell. The area of heavy rain is generally located in the northeast quadrant approximately 5° of latitude (or ) from the eye. In the western Pacific, tropical upper tropospheric lows are the main cause for the few tropical cyclones which develop north of the 20th parallel north and east of the 160th meridian east during La Nina events. Trailing upper cyclones and upper troughs can cause additional outflow channels and aid in the intensification process of tropical cyclones. Developing tropical disturbances can 	Upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex

In the western North Pacific, there are strong reciprocal relationships between the areas of formative tropical cyclones and that of the lower tropospheric monsoon troughs and the tropical upper tropospheric trough. Tropical cyclone movement can also be influenced by TUTT cells within of their position, which can lead to non-climatological tropical cyclone tracks. Interaction with monsoon regimes. As upper level lows retrograde over land masses, they can enhance thunderstorm activity during the afternoon. This 	Upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex

Across the north Indian Ocean, the formation of this type of vortex leads to the onset of monsoon rains during the wet season. Upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex An upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex is a vortex, or a circulation with a definable center, that usually moves slowly from east-northeast to west-southwest and is prevalent across Northern Hemisphere's warm season. Its circulations generally do not extend below in altitude	Upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex

He worked with scientist Vera Rubin, who used his advanced spectrometer in her studies of space and matter. This spectrometer allowed the pair to drastically change the way dark matter was viewed, by analyzing the various spectrums of light galaxies give off in different parts of their spirals. He received the 1985 James Craig Watson Medal for his work on image enhancement and galactic dynamics. Work. Imaging tube development. Starting in 1955, when he was hired at the Carnegie Institute	Kent Ford (astronomer)
15480622	's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ford worked on improving the electrostatic photomultiplier tube and developing it as an instrument for scientific work, and went on to pioneer the application of photomultiplier tubes as a sensitive focal-plane detector for astronomical applications, resulting in the Carnegie Image Tube". The first tests of the astronomical applications of his barrier film tubes were done on the 26-inch refractor at the Naval Observatory in Washington, and later at the 40-inch telescope at the Naval Observatory in Flagstaff. By making it possible for astronomical observations to be captured in electronic form, and thus  easily transferred to digital form for analysis by computer, the technology revolutionized the data collection method of observational astronomy, and the technology continued to be widely used for astronomical observations until the development of CCD imagers in the 1980s. Observational astronomy. In an important paper co-authored with astronomer Vera Rubin in 1970, and a follow-up paper in 1980, Rubin and Ford established that the orbits of stars around the center of galaxies (the "galaxy rotation curve") does not decrease with distance from the galactic center, as expected from Kepler's rotation law, but remains constant (or "flat") with  distance. They deduced from this that galaxies contain a large fraction of their mass in the form of some non-luminous component, and calculated that most galaxies must contain about six times as much dark as visible mass. The name now given to this discovery is dark matter. Kent Ford (astronomer) W. (William) Kent Ford Jr. (born 1931) is an astronomer involved with the theory of dark matter.
