Download or read book The Anatomy of Severe Weather written by Zach Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every spring the Central United States awakens from its winter slumber and begins the tumultuous transition to summer. The battle ground known as Tornado Alley comes to life as moisture, heat and wind come together to spawn the most intense storms on the planet. These storms traverse the landscape with hail, tornadoes, and lightning. As storm chasers, our mission is to capture these dynamic systems and share our experiences with you. Severe weather and the processes by which these mammoth storms develop are to this day an inexact science. However, the research that has been done on these storms, and experience in the field, has led to amazing developments in meteorology. How does a severe storm form? What are the signs a tornado may be imminent? What makes one severe storm different from another severe storm? The Anatomy of Severe Weather will visually take you through the process of severe weather using in depth explanations and high resolution photography. * A comprehensive visual guide to severe weather including thunderstorms, supercells, tornadoes, and lightning.* Illustrated throughout with easy to understand diagrams over high resolution photography and Doppler high radar images. * Covers an array of topics such as climatology, weather history, and storm chasing.

Download or read book An Introduction to Severe Storms and Hazardous Weather written by Jeffrey B. Halverson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a deep and encompassing survey of severe weather in all its forms. An Introduction to Severe Storms and Hazardous Weather is an exciting new textbook that allows students to learn the principles of atmospheric science through the drama, exhilaration, and even tragedy of severe weather. Balancing breadth and depth, Jeffrey B. Halverson adeptly combines a short, accessible introduction to the basic principles of meteorology with detailed coverage on large- and small-scale weather hazards. He draws on specific up-to-date case studies from North America to illustrate the cause of meteorological events including hurricanes, heavy snow and ice, floods, and tornadoes. Unlike existing books on the market, Halverson delves deep into the societal impacts of these events, drawing on examples from agriculture, utility infrastructure, and commercial aviation. Each chapter also features high-quality, customized color artwork by Thomas D. Rabenhorst that helps to enhance and embed learning. Thorough in its scope, and written with an impeccable focus on the science, this book will be an essential resource for introductory undergraduate courses in severe weather, natural hazards, and extreme meteorology. It is also an excellent supplemental textbook for courses on meteorology and atmospheric science.

Download or read book The Shell Structure of the Visible Tornado Vortex written by James C. Devine and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tornado is the smallest yet most destructive of all storms. Its small size, intensity, and infrequency reduce considerably the opportunity to obtain useful data on the region inside of the visible funnel. The closest approach to a recording instrument in reports studied by the writer was three hundred meters. The lack of information regarding the funnel region has seriously handicapped the understanding of the tornado structure. In this study, a first approximate model was developed, principally geometrically and kinematically, to demonstrate the reasonable existence of the 'shell structure' observed in the initial developing stages of tornadoes and waterspouts. This feature was shown to result from a narrow radial zone of subcondensation pressure bounded at the inner radius by contact with dry air in the core of the funnel. Relating the parameters to observations from nature, it was developed that only low level flow of an initial depth of about sixty meters or less should be considered as contributing to the total inflow from the outer region. It was further shown that the radial distance from which a tornado draws its external support is small, about one-half mile or less.

Into the Storm is also a fascinating look at the science of weather—what causes extreme conditions, its connection to climate change, and how a tornado gets its stovepipe structure.
