Tornado Inflicted Damages Pattern
نویسنده
چکیده
On average, about a thousand tornadoes hit the United States every year. Three out of every four tornadoes in the world, occur in the United States. They damage life and property in their path and they often hit with very little, sometimes no warning. Tornadoes cause approximately 70 fatalities and 1,500 injuries in US every year. The interest of this study is to find whether the fatalities and injuries caused by the tornadoes based on the weekday, magnitude are significantly different among the different levels. The idea behind this paper is to find patterns in the damages dealt by the tornadoes and find an insight whether the safety measures are applied correctly.

Mapping of Forest Damages Caused by a Tornado 2012 in Gera, Germany Using Terrasar-x Change Detection
In this paper an object based classification method for detection of storm damages with TerraSAR-X images is described. The segmentation process is carried out with the software Ecognition. Classification is done by setting a threshold, which is identified by visual interpretation. Afterwards a region growing method is applied and forest GIS and pre storm ortho photos are used to improve the ac...
متن کاملAdaptive Pattern Recognition for Tornado Detection
• Students will learn how to develop a simple three layer neural network consisting of: a two node input layer, a one node output layer, and a hidden layer that connects the two and is governed by the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm. From these principles, Matlab’s neural network toolbox will then be used to design meaningful, large-scale neural networks for realistic weather radar data sena...
متن کاملA Statistical Model for Regional Tornado Climate Studies
Tornado reports are locally rare, often clustered, and of variable quality making it difficult to use them directly to describe regional tornado climatology. Here a statistical model is demonstrated that overcomes some of these difficulties and produces a smoothed regional-scale climatology of tornado occurrences. The model is applied to data aggregated at the level of counties. These data incl...

This paper reflects the polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) data utilization for near-real time earthquake and/or tsunami damage assessment in urban areas. In order to show the potential of the fully polarimetric high resolution polarimetric SAR (POLSAR) image data sets, a fourcomponent scattering power decomposition scheme has been developed and applied to monitor near-real time ear...
متن کاملSelf-inflicted specific pattern burns in psychiatric patients.
Self-inflicted burns represent a major social and medical problem for society. Differences have been demonstrated between patients who attempt suicide and those who deliberately harm themselves without any intention of killing themselves. These self-inflicted injuries may resemble injuries that are intentionally inflicted by others and may require investigation by protective services. Little is...
