Abstract: The distribution in time and space of the total specific energy (cpT + gZ + Lq + V2/2) of the environment of severe storms is examined. Comparison of the total energy profiles of tornado proximity soundings with the closest ...

Abstract: Wind generated Pressure inside buildings, normally referred to as ?internal pressure? in engineering literature, has a profound effect on the atmospheric pressure measured with indoor barometers during severe storms. The ...

Abstract: An hypothesis is given for the cause of the observed diurnal oscillations in the mid- and upper-tropospheric wind field that occur in association with oscillations of the boundary layer wind field and low-level, nocturnal ...

Abstract: Environmental flow relative to tornado-producing thunderstorms is examined through the use of the large tornado proximity sounding dataset compiled at the University of Missouri. It is believed that the 184 soundings gleaned ...

Abstract: An integrating device for totalizing the output of various transducers with respect to time is described. The device is battery operated and costs less than $150. The input span is adjustable from 6 to 100 millivolts and ...
