The diagnosis of severe thunderstorms with high-resolution WRF model

Journal of Earth System Science, 2012
Thunderstorm, resulting from vigorous convective activity, is one of the most spectacular weather phenomena in the atmosphere. A common feature of the weather during the pre-monsoon season over the Indo-Gangetic Plain and northeast India is the outburst of severe local convective storms, commonly known as ‘Nor’westers’(as they move from northwest to ...

Reassessing sixteenth and seventeenth century written accounts of hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

Weather, EarlyView.
Abstract While the North Atlantic’s five‐century hurricane history is among the most complete globally, the earliest centuries are poorly documented in the written record. This study reassesses a subset of sixteenth to seventeenth‐century tropical cyclones (TCs) through a systematic review of archival evidence, mainly from Spain’s colonial archive, the

Investigation of thunderstorm characteristics with severe lightning events over NE region of India [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The north eastern region (NER) of India is among the hotspot regions for thunderstorm events leading to substantial loss of lives and properties every year. A reliable thunderstorm early warning system can prevent these losses. As these events are highly
