Book excerpt: To a climatologist, concerned with design criteria, hailstones offer one of the greatest challenges. The risk or probability of occurrence of hailstones is needed for the revision of MIL-STD-210A, 'Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment.' Eventually some kind of instrumentaiton, using radar or hailpads, is expected to measure the destructive power of hailstorms, but for this study, the literature had led only to tentative figures for the distribution of diameters.

This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 975 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cloud physics has achieved such a voluminous literature over the past few decades that a significant quantitative study of the entire field would prove unwieldy. This book concentrates on one major aspect: cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles. Common practice has shown that one may distinguish among the following addi tional major aspects: cloud dynamics, which is concerned with the physics respon sible for the macroscopic features of clouds; cloud electricity, which deals with the electrical structure of clouds and the electrification processes of cloud and precipi tation particles; and cloud optics and radar meteorology, which describe the effects of electromagnetic waves interacting with clouds and precipitation. Another field intimately related to cloud physics is atmospheric chemistry, which involves the chemical composition ofthe atmosphere and the life cycle and characteristics of its gaseous and particulate constituents. In view of the natural interdependence of the various aspects of cloud physics, the subject of microphysics cannot be discussed very meaningfully out of context. Therefore, we have found it necessary to touch briefly upon a few simple and basic concepts of cloud dynamics and thermodynamics, and to provide an account of the major characteristics of atmospheric aerosol particles. We have also included a separate chapter on some of the effects of electric fields and charges on the precipitation-forming processes.
Download or read book A Synoptic Climatology of Severe Hail in the Northeastern United States written by Brian Kerschner and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A climatology of severe hail (3/4 inches or greater) was constructed for the Northeastern Unites States (Figure 3.1). This region was chosen because it contains highly populated urban environments adjacent to vast agricultural regions, both of which are susceptible to hail damage. This study provides a baseline climatology of severe hail throughout the Northeast United States (from 1955-2009) by investigating the spatial and temporal characteristics of severe hail storms, and the extent to which population density influences severe hail reports. Synoptic patterns and thermodynamic environments are also discussed by analyzing data from the top 85 most reported severe hail outbreaks, defined as significant severe hail event days. This data consists of daily mean composite synoptic weather maps, as well as information from nine upper air stations throughout the study region. The results show that the distribution of severe hail in the Northeastern United States is influenced by a combination of meteorological, technological, and societal factors. The daily mean composite synoptic maps show that significant severe hail outbreaks in the Northeastern United States commonly occur when the region is influenced by the ascending branch of a low amplitude, anomalous, 500 hPa trough, accompanied by an anomalous surface low pressure system, situated to the west or northwest of the study region. A weak east-west oriented cold front associated with this surface low typically provides the lifting needed to initiate severe convection. The largest reported severe hailstone throughout the duration of the study occurred in Virginia, in 1968, measuring 5 inches in diameter. Conversely, 57% of all studied severe hailstones had a reported diameter of less than one inch. A majority of all severe hail reports occurred during the three month period of May, June, and July, between 1500-1659 hours local time. Thermodynamic information obtained using 00 UTC soundings showed that the K-Index, Total-Totals index, CAPE, and Wet Bulb Zero Level showed the most skill in forecasting significant severe hail outbreaks in the Northeastern United States. Due to a statically stable bias in the thermodynamic data by 00 UTC, non-surface based severe weather indices were able to provide a more reliable hail forecast than surface based severe weather indices.
Download or read book Climate Change and Extreme Events written by Ali Fares and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate Change and Extreme Events uses a multidisciplinary approach to discuss the relationship between climate change-related weather extremes and their impact on human lives. Topics discussed are grouped into four major sections: weather parameters, hydrological responses, mitigation and adaptation, and governance and policies, with each addressed with regard to past, present and future perspectives. Sections give an overview of weather parameters and hydrological responses, presenting current knowledge and a future outlook on air and stream temperatures, precipitation, storms and hurricanes, flooding, and ecosystem responses to these extremes. Other sections cover extreme weather events and discuss the role of the state in policymaking. This book provides a valuable interdisciplinary resource to climate scientists and meteorologists, environmental researchers, and social scientists interested in extreme weather. Provides an integrated interdisciplinary approach to how climate change impacts the hydrological system Addresses significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of climate change and extreme events Discusses the societal impacts of climate change-related weather extremes, including multilevel governance and adaptation policy
Download or read book Hail Holy Queen written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for all Catholics! Bestselling author, Scott Hahn illuminates a fresh and enlightening perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith. In The Lamb's Supper, Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message. Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king. Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.
