Tweeting and tornadoes
Social Media and micro-blogging is being used during crisis events to provide live up-to-date information as events evolve (before, during and after). Messages are posted by citizens or public officials. To understand the effectiveness of these messages, we examined the content of geo-located Twitter messages (“tweets”) sent during the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013 (+/-1day) to explor...
متن کاملInverse modeling of aerosol dynamics: Condensational growth
[1] The feasibility of inverse modeling a multicomponent, size-resolved aerosol evolving by condensation/evaporation is investigated. The adjoint method is applied to the multicomponent aerosol dynamic equation in a box model (zero-dimensional) framework. Both continuous and discrete formulations of the model (the forward equation) and the adjoint are considered. A test example is studied in wh...
متن کاملForecasting Tornadoes in Georgia
Some climatological data on the seasonal, diurnal, and geographical distribut>iorl of tornadoes in Georgia are presented, and the tornado "season" is defined as occurring from February through April. Twelve different storms producing t,ornadoes during one or more 12-hour forecast periods are studied for synoptic similarities. A mean tornado sounding and a 700-mb. composite chart, taken from dat...
متن کاملPhysically-Based Simulation of Tornadoes
In this paper, we present a physically-based model to perform 3D visual simulation of tornadoes. Simulating natural phenomena based on physically realistic models has been an active research area in computer graphics. The tornado phenomenon is a spectacular one as it demonstrates the magnificent strength of forces of nature and its shear size. Previous research on tornadoes have focused either ...
متن کاملSimple approximations for condensational growth
A simple geometric argument relating to the liquid water content of clouds is given. The phase relaxation time and the nature of the quasi-steady approximation for the diffusional growth of cloud drops are elucidated directly in terms of water vapor concentration. Spatial gradients of vapor concentration, inherent in the notion of quasi-steady growth, are discussed and we argue for an occasiona...
