pilot error‚ crew mismanagement‚ weather related accidents etc. In a research conducted by NASA‚ weather was the factor in 21.3 % of total accidents that occurred from 1998-2003. In this review I will be covering how new technological development and research by leading aviation/aerospace agencies‚ aircraft manufactures‚ aerospace governing bodies and national weather organizations gave birth to new technology and information that can be used to prevent weather related problems. I will also shed

Humans have tried to predict the weather for millions of years. Our ancestors monitored changes in their environment along with the behaviour of animals to help them predict the weather. Through development of our understanding‚ of the atmospheric patterns and the relationship to weather dynamics‚ today it is much easier to forecast a more accurate weather prediction. To better understand the mechanisms which control our weather and climate‚ we have to look at the Earth’s atmosphere. In particular

Chasing On 17 September 2014‚ Maricopa Community College (MCC) provided a forum where Dr. Shauan Pan‚ President of the MCC Honors Program‚ hosted a lecture. Pan invited Reed Timmer‚ CEO of Weather Fusion‚ LLC and Extreme Tornado Tours‚ LLC to present his experiences in storm chasing. Timmer is an extreme weather chaser and one of the few to document hurricane Katrina‚ which was the most devastating hurricane to strike the U.S. mainland. He has also witnessed over two hundred fifty tornadoes. Timmer

What? And How? 1. How is lightning formed? Cumulonimbus clouds must become electrically charged therefore‚ in most rain clouds the bottom of the rain cloud is negatively charged and the top is positively charged. Lightning is created as a discharge of built up energy due to the separation of positive and negative charges which are generated inside the thunderstorm. 2. How are tornadoes formed? Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient instability‚ and wind shear

predictable things such as bad weather however they also consisted of badly surprising things such as hostile Indian attacks. One major Problem migrants had to face when travelling west was severe weather‚ however they could do nothing to prevent this‚ just be prepared and ready for anything to come. Severe weather such as rain‚ sandstorms‚ quicksand‚ snow and harsh winds made life very hard for these migrants on the move. Some people weren’t prepared and this weather meant food was limited as reaching

The drought will cause an increase in groceries because the heat causes the production of crops to falter‚ leaving farmers with no way

known fact to the people residing in UK and other parts of Western Europe‚ that we experience very unpredictable seasons and weather‚ throughout the year. But‚ what’s circulating in air among people of UK is about the miserable “Wet Summers”; that we have face. It was very depressing to our climate and weather prediction agencies for being incapable of predicting accurate weather ahead”‚ said lead author of the study‚ Richard Hall.

Checking out the weather report is a daily activity for many of us. At the very least‚ we want to know how hot or cold it will get‚ or whether there will be rain or snow. Some of us live in places where severe weather can produce dangerous conditions -- flooding‚ tornados‚ blizzards or fogs‚ so we pay attention to weather related warnings. And these days‚ weather reports are getting more sophisticated‚ with pollen counts and particulates for allergy sufferers‚ and UV indices to tell you whether you

electric storms‚ hurricanes‚ blizzards and heat waves‚ just to name a few. Who would have thought that in beyond our atmosphere‚ in outer space‚ there is also weather occurring? It is true. Although the space weather does not occur in the ways in which most people‚ those that are not scientists or astronauts‚ would think of. Space weather is the “turbulent and dynamic” outputs from the Sun. These outputs can be in the form of light or particles that are electrically charged. Our magnetosphere

answer that describes the differences between weather and climate. Weather and Climate both take the same measuring elements of the environment and atmosphere (Temperature‚ humidity‚ pressure‚ wind speeds‚ precipitation‚ etc.). According to Sturman & Tapper (2006)‚ weather is “the state of the atmosphere at a particular point in time within a defined areas.” This in turn is opposed to Sturman & Tapper’s (2006) take on climate which is “the synthesis of weather observed over a period of many years.” As
