The Relationship between Tornadic and Nontornadic Convective Wind Fatalities and Warnings

A database of tornado fatalities, nontornadic convective wind fatalities, severe thunderstorm warnings, and tornado warnings was compiled for the period 1986–2007 to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of warned and unwarned fatalities. The time of fatality and location as reported in StormDatawas compared to tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings to determine if a warning was in eff...

Tunnels for Simulation of Straight - Line , Thunderstorm - and Tornado - Like Winds by

Researchers at Iowa State University (ISU) are developing next generation wind tunnels for studying primarily wind effects on structures. The Wind Simulation and Testing Laboratory in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics will house facilities that simulate straight-line, thunderstormand tornado-like winds. This paper describes the motivation for advancing the state ...
