Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Special Characteristics of Tornadoes: With Practical Directions for the Protection of Life and Property Should unusually interesting phenomena occur during the period between these hours of Observation, it would be advisable to increase the number of observations, making these at as short intervals as the importance of the case demands. By means of these frequent observations, every feature of the storm becomes the subject of inquiry and quite probably more important results attained. For purposes of investigation of tornadoes the observations need not continue throughout the entire year, at least in the northern and western states, although such a length of record would be of great value for other purposes; but observations should certainly begin by the Ist of April and continue, unremittingly, until at least the Ist of Sep' tember. Observations through the autumn can be maintained with profit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: What in the world is a tornado? In this age of extreme weather, this newly updated edition of Gail Gibbons' informative introduction to tornadoes, with safety tips included, answers that question. Tornadoes form when hot, humid air rises from the ground and meets with the cooler, denser air that is falling back to Earth. The two airstreams begin to swirl, pulling in more and more air to form a funnel-shaped cloud. The winds can swirl faster than 261 miles per hour! Newly revised and vetted by weather experts from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, Tornadoes is an accessible introduction to this fascinating phenomenon. Using her praised combination of clear text and detailed illustrations, Gail Gibbons shares more than fifty tornado facts. . . . including how tornadoes form, the scale used for classifying them, and the safest places to go in case one should happen near you. Featuring simple, kid-friendly text, colorful paintings, and well-labeled diagrams, Gail Gibbons' nonfiction titles have been called ""staples of any collection" (Kirkus Reviews) and offer clear, accessible introductions to complex topics for young readers beginning to explore the world.
Download or read book Characteristics of Tornadoes Associated with Land falling Gulf Coast Tropical Cyclones written by Cory Lynn Rhodes and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical cyclone tornadoes are brief and often unpredictable events that can produce fatalities and create considerable economic loss. Given these uncertainties, it is important to understand the characteristics and factors that contribute to tornado formation within tropical cyclones. This thesis analyzes this hazardous phenomenon, examining the relationships among tropical cyclone intensity, size, and tornado output. Furthermore, the influences of synoptic and dynamic parameters on tornado output near the time of tornado formation were assessed among two phases of a tropical cyclone's life cycle; those among hurricanes and tropical storms, termed tropical cyclone tornadoes (TCT), and those among tropical depressions and remnant lows, termed tropical low tornadoes (TLT). Results show that tornado output is affected by tropical cyclone intensity, and to a lesser extent size, with those classified as large in size and `major' in intensity producing a greater amount of tornadoes. Increased values of storm relative helicity are dominant for the TCT environment while CAPE remains the driving force for TLT storms.
