Download or read book Severe Thunderstorms and Tornadoes in the United States written by Peter Folger and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-10 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes affect communities across the U.S. every year, causing fatalities, destroying property and crops, and disrupting businesses. Tornadoes are the most destructive products of severe thunderstorms. Damages from violent tornadoes seem to be increasing, similar to the trend for other natural hazards in part due to changing population, demographics, and more weather-sensitive infrastructure and some analysts indicate that losses of $1 billion or more from single tornado events are becoming more frequent. Insurance industry analysts state that tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and related weather events have caused nearly 57%, on average, of all insured catastrophe losses in the U.S. in any given year since 1953.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We have developed a thunderstorm prediction technique for use with a mesoscale model to satisfy Air Force Weather's Theater Battle Management (TBM) stated requirement for maximum cloud tops and coverage. The prediction technique is to be implemented in the Global Theater/Weather Analysis and Prediction system (GTWAPS). A perfect-prog approach was implemented using synoptic and subsynoptic-scale data for diagnosis and short-range probability forecasts. Future work is discussed, including, most importantly, follow-on testing and refinements of the techniques." -- Report documentation page.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREDICTING STORMS - The Adventure Begins Third Edition 2024. BY ROBERT ELLIS The full colour book shows ordinary people how to predict a storm long before it is even visible to radar or satellite. Many lives can be saved by using the simple rules explained in the book. As many as 500,000 people worldwide may die in large storms each year. Traditional weather forecasts can currently only give around 13 minutes' lead time for tornadoes spawned by supercell thunderstorms. The Tornado Early Warning Rule published in this book gives at least 5 hours early warning of a deadly tornado from its rigid straight-line signature on a barograph. Your barometer will give you at least 24 hours early warning of an approaching hurricane making landfall. Third Edition features a breakthrough in storm early warning: Severe Thunderstorm Early Warning Rule, page 27. Book has the first comprehensive compilation of rules for storms. Know when you will be safe from storms. Predicting Storms covers practical information such as whether you can walk to work, or if there will be a storm in your area within the next hour or two. All types of storms are covered in the book: Severe Thunderstorms, tornadic supercell thunderstorms, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, extratropical cyclones, tropical storms, tornadoes, bush firestorms, fire tornadoes, weather bombs, windstorms, dust storms, and snowstorms. Rules apply to storms on land and at sea, so sea and surf are another important part of the book. Find out why we can expect stronger storms in a warmer world. Whether you are a general reader, a surfer, a weather watcher, a storm-spotter, or a storm-chaser, Predicting Storms will give you the tools to predict all storms confidently. Author is a scientist and storm expert who has been referred to in recent years in the media as a storm chaser. Getting started is easy: open book to page 5, download MARINE BAROGRAPH app (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android). Riding the storm - your ultimate adventure awaits!

Download or read book Improving Cape Canaveral s Day 2 Thunderstorm Forecasting Using Meso ETANumerical Model Output written by Christian S. Wohlwend and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 45th Weather Squadron (WS) is responsible for the protection of billions of dollars worth of Air Force and NASA equipment from weather hazards. They produce a seven day planning forecast as one tool to support the space launch community. Improving this forecast can potentially save millions of dollars of government funds. This research focuses on the feasibility of improving the day two thunderstorm forecast by applying Meso Eta numerical forecasts to the Neumann-Pfeffer Thunderstorm Index (NPTI). The NPTI is currently used by the 45th WS for same day thunderstorm probability forecasting utilizing the morning radiosonde as input. The perfect prognosis assumption was used when assessing the value of this technique. NPTI thunderstorm probabilities were calculated using input variables extracted from the day two Meso Eta. The NPTI output was verified against coincident thunderstorm observations taken at Cape Canaveral Air Station. Accuracy and bias statistics were used to calculate a forecasting skill score versus persistence. Statistically significant positive skill scores were produced, indicating that the proposed method is a potentially useful forecasting tool for day two thunderstorm probability forecasting. A test of NPTI over 20 years of climatology revealed a moderately accurate forecasting method.
