7.6 Performance of the New Four-dimensional Lightning Surveillance System (4dlss) at the Kennedy Space Center/cape Canaveral Air Force Station Complex

6.6 Empirical Forecasting of Lightning Cessation at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center

This research addresses a seldom studied aspect of lightning—lightning cessation. Holle et al. (1992) found that the majority of casualties occur either during thunderstorm initiation or during dissipation. Between these times, when the threat of lightning is obvious, there are fewer casualties. Thus, the initiation and cessation of lightning activity are critically important periods. Florida i...

Finding of No Significant Impact (fonsi) Milstar I and Ii Satellite Vehicle Cape Canaveral Afs, Florida

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) proposes to launch six Milstar Satellites from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida, using a Titan IV launch vehicle with a Centaur upper stage (Titan IV/Centaur). The primary mission of Milstar is to provide the next generation of Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM) systems to complement Navy’s Fleet Satellite Communication System, Air Force’s Sa...

Eight years ago in August 2002 the United States decided in coordination with...

On the Temperature of Boundary Layer Air in the Present Climate

Satellite observations of lightning flash rate are merged with proximal surface station thermodynamic observations toward understanding the response of the global circuit to temperature. These comparisons support an important role for cloud base height in regulating the transfer of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) to updraft kinetic energy in thunderstorms. This role for cloud base ...
