British Isles Storms

3. Based on your answers, why is it warmer in summer than in winter? It is warmer in the summer then in the winter because the Earth’s tilt is

The third and final claim is that stronger winds caused Galetown to have more severe storms. That statement is correct because stronger winds caused the air parcels to rise even higher than it would’ve been, which in turn caused more rainfall. Wind pushed the air parcel even higher in the air, in turn making the air parcel lose more energy. As we know, the higher the air parcel rises in the air, the more rain will occur than before, and even more severe storms. If you look at storm 3 and storm 4 wind strength during the severe storms, it’s a humongous difference! Storm 3 had a light wind strength, while storm 4 had a very strong wind strength. Storm 3 had 8 inches of rain and storm 4 had 12 inches of rain. Based on storm 3 and 4, they both had the same amount of local surface water and high temperatures before the storm, the only difference is wind strength. I concluded that wind strength caused Galetown to have more severe storms.

More sunlight reaches the equator of the planet causing a correlation between UV intensity and latitude.

On Sunday August 28, 2005 the National Weather Service warned the storm would make southeast Louisiana “uninhabitable for weeks, perhaps longer” and also warned of “human suffering incredible by modern standards.” This same

To what extent is the climate of the British Isles a product of the air masses that affect it? (40 marks)

The predictions of forecast back around in that time, at times, could have been helpful, other times would not. Though the people had forecast predictions, they were often inaccurate. The forecasters, or indication officers, claimed that their predictions were accurate 83.7 percent of the time for the following day. The indication officers were not allowed to say certain things about the predicted forecast, which often affected the communities negatively not only for this certain occasion but for others, as well. For example, an officer could not even say the word tornado in any of their forecast predictions. The coastal cities of the nation thought that they were immune to the disaster of a hurricane, so forecasters would never mention a such a tragic storm in the predictions of the forecast. On top of the believed immunity and forbidden words to be mentioned in forecasts, the method of predictions was not at the best, either. Instead of relying on the physics of a storm and deeply studying it, indication officers turned more to geometry and cartography, the science of drawing maps, to predict where the storm will go. This did not leave the communities vulnerable for just this blizzard, but for pretty much every storm that swept across the nation, as

On Saturday December 21st 2013 a powerful storm struck Southern Ontario, leaving the streets and sidewalks under a thick blanket of snow. Ice covered covered the ground in thick sheets near Lake Ontario and some parts in Quebec. In Fredricton they received freezing rain. This storm greatly affected many parts of Southern Canada and some parts of the United States. In this essay I will be focussing only on the areas in Canada that it affected. I will be discussing  the different types of precipitation that fell, the areas where the storm attacked and the dangers it caused to many lives, and the impact this storm had on transportation routes and the power grid. Finally, I will be comparing how the different types of tree vegetation were able

Thesis/Preview of Main Points: Today I am going to be talking to you about hurricanes. Hurricanes are one of nature’s most powerful and destructive storms. We’ve heard, watched the news, and read articles about the devastating repercussions that hurricanes have left behind from whenever they hit land. However,

Flights were full and if you could find a seat, the prices were outrageous. Not only were flights full but getting out by car was a major dilemma as well. Gas was in high demand which led to outages and fuel prices sky rocketed. Traffic was at an all-time high for some of these areas and with an estimation on where the track of the storm could go, it led people not knowing where to find shelter.

being much more resistant to the cold weather in the north. Though we have those certain

When dealing with weather, one must recognize weather anomalies. Weather conditions in many regions of the country still hold their expected atmospheric conditions trough one year, but for several areas these stations are fluctuating. These irregularities, for many circumstances arrive in form of extreme heat, or long summers or perhaps extreme winter weather conditions. Before moving any further, when this project refers to extreme, it means something out of the ordinary, something not expected, or perhaps something that causes damages to living conditions or society in general. Some of these variations in normal weather patterns, society has learned to prepare for, but when these changes come in unusual patterns, they can cause severe damage. This project will focus on explaining and analyzing one particular weather condition, hurricanes. Hurricanes have the power and energy to cause a lot of damage across the

To decide which data set to use, we did a regression model in Minitab with both data sets to see which model was better. We decided to use the Scotland mean flowering dates to model with the two data sets. Scotland is the coldest part of the UK, so if Central England temperature could produce a good model with Scotland, then any region of the UK would also work with Central England temperature. We used Minitab to produce a multiple regression model for both data sets. For both models we used the months February and March for temperature.

“Poems are written with the feelings and emotions, with the intuition and the instincts, that make each of us who we are” (Charters 669). Dana Gioia, the author of “Summer Storm 2000” expresses an emotional works to an event dated back 20 years ago. Gioia uses dictions such as, imagery, figures of speech, setting, tone, and ballad to help readers not only comprehend the poem but to help them envision and feel it as if they were the ones experiencing the story. Gioia uses these means as a way of expressing his feelings and thoughts while explain to readers the deeper meaning of what “Summer Storm” really entails.

“Natural disasters have killed more than 600,000 people and left behind trillions of dollars in damages in the last two decades, the United Nations said Monday.” (Chan) Extreme weather has caused millions of casualties and extreme damages over the years, but lately there has been an increase in severe weather events. This is causing problems in the US, with the amount of tornadoes rising in tornado alley “Tennessee experienced a 67 percent increase in tornado activity in 1983-2013 compared to the 1954-1983 time period. Oklahoma experienced a nearly 35 percent decrease in tornadoes in 1983-2013 compared to 1954-1983.”

Homes were mildewed from the storm, as well people were left cold without heat and there just was not enough descent housing; however, the money that was raised for the victims was being set aside and I feel that this was a problem that the red cross encountered while handling money.
