Wind shear

Microburst and wind shear avoidance As we all know, safety is fundamental to the aviation industry. There are many factors will cause dangerous to flights, such as human factors, problem of aircraft structures and so on. Flight safety has many challenges. Due to the climate variability and suddenness, meteorology has become a severe problem in aviation. Many air crashes are in the result of bad weather. In generally speaking, there are several weather phenomenon have much influence on flights, like

Oklahoma Tornadoes and Their Destructive Ways What makes tornadoes and their destruction interesting to people? Is it the variety in formations, the miles one can travel, the random paths it takes, the changes tornadoes can make on climate and the formation of the land or is it because tornadoes often leave behind a path of destruction and deaths? In this paper, I will discuss what tornadoes are and how they form, what different forms of tornadoes there are, what tornado watches and warning are

her seat when the plane encountered turbulence. She suffered fatal injuries when she hit the armrest on the way back down. The passenger was not wearing a seatbelt; according to the NTSB accident brief (Brief of Accident). Wind Shear Wind shear is a sudden drastic change in wind speed and direction that generally

The plane overran the runway during adverse weather that took place at

Abstract In order to understand fault structure, there is a need to first understand fault complexity. Images of faults at depth and near surface reveal complexities that characterize properties such as geometry, composition and stress states of that fault’s structure. While this is true for both passive and induced imaging, a true passive source image is without the changes in fault structure due to any induced mechanism. This is something to consider when discussing fault complexity at near surface

There are about 10,000 earthquakes in southern California every year (USDS). I would think that it would take a tremendous amount of time to track every earthquake. John, a prestigious seismologist, has just discovered an earthquake that has the potential to cause a lot of damage to an area in southern California. He has developed a technique that detects earthquakes that is 80% accurate. This technique has told him this earthquake has a magnitude of 7.3. This technique has also told him that this

tore through the town of Joplin, Missouri. The Tornado struck in late afternoon of May 22, 2011, this was the days where it was memorable and people couldn't forget that day. The EF-5 tornado was one of the most powerful tornadoes in history. The winds that the tornado produced were over 200 miles per hour. The tornado started at the west side of the town and ended in a different town. May 22 was the day where it changed everybody’s lives. It was just a perfect day were it was busy, everyone was

How to Out-Run a Tornado I have never been in a tornado. Not one in the literal sense, but everyone has some kind of tornado in their life, something that comes and shakes everything up. It just so happens that mine came as, what I thought at the time, was an actual tornado. As it turns out, my eleven year old brain just decided to exaggerate the true circumstances. My tornado came in the Summer of 2009, on a humid day in June, at Camp Constantin, the Boy Scout summer camp I had been attending

This is an essay on Tornados and Hurricanes. This essay will explain the similarities and differences between Tornados and Hurricanes. The 2nd paragraph will talk about Tornados just Tornados. The 3rd paragraph will talk about Hurricanes the 4th will compare them. The 5th paragraph will talk about differences between them. Then the 6th paragraph will be the conclusion to the essay. This paragraph will talk about Tornados did you know Tornados don´t cause many fatalities. Because they are often

western areas such as Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri (McCann125). Picture it, you live in Texas. The tornado watch siren goes off. You try not to go into a panic mode. You gather all the family into the cellar. You hear raging winds whipping, the roaring of the rampaging tornado, and you had just gotten into the cellar with a few seconds to spare. After the storm is over, your family and you open the cellar door. You look around. You’re surrounded by the remains of your house
