Abstract: AbstractThe record of tornado fatalities in the United States for over two centuries (1808?2017) and decadal census records have been examined to search for historical trends. Particular attention has been given to the ...

Abstract: Linear parametric models are commonly assumed and used for unknown data-generating mechanisms. This study demonstrates the value of inferring statistics of meteorological and climatological time series by using a ...

Abstract: An abbreviated historical account of the evolution of the satellite meteorology program is presented. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the satellite and its space platform for observing and studying atmospheric ...

Abstract: Available datasets and pertinent climatological studies have been examined to show the statistical trends in frequency of cyclone and anticyclone events for the Northern Hemisphere during periods of warming and cooling ...

Abstract: This study extends the authors? earlier work that addresses the importance of bootstrap methods in computing statistical characteristics of meteorological and climatological datasets. Subsampling confidence intervals for ...

Abstract: A method for comprehensive statistical data analysis is presented. It includes a procedure for selection of segments within a data record, where data can be considered stationary, allowing the computation of statistical ...

Abstract: he U.S. tornado record is subject to inhomogeneities that are due to inconsistent practices in counting tornadoes, assessing their damage, and measuring pathlength and path width. Efforts to improve the modern tornado ...

Abstract: Observational evidence of a locally induced snowfall is presented. Local snow cover patterns are shown along with accompanying meteorological data which suggest that the precipitation process was initiated by the introduction ...

Abstract: Low-order models (LOMs) arising in various popular fluid dynamic and atmospheric problems are shown to be equivalent to coupled three-mode nonlinear systems known in mechanics as Volterra gyrostats. The Volterra equations ...
