Lightning and severe thunderstorms in event management.
There are a few national position stands/guidelines that address environmental conditions in athletics, yet they do not govern all outdoor sports. Extreme heat and cold, lightning, and severe wind can all be fatal, yet the majority of outdoor sports have no published guidelines addressing these conditions in relation to activity. Available research on extreme heat and cold conditions in athleti...
متن کاملNormal Polarity Severe Thunderstorms Dominated by Negative Cg Lightning in the Dallas-fort worth Area
BACKGROUND Since the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) became fully operational in 1989, meteorologists have spent considerable time trying to identify cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning characteristics that are uniquely associated with severe weather. Many studies focused on the dominant CG lightning polarity as a potential indicator of severe weather. Knapp (1994) found that 39% of...
متن کاملA Water Vapor Image Feature Related to Severe Thunderstorms
The 6.7)m channel water vapor (WV) images from GOES have been generally used as a tool for synoptic scale weather analysis since their availability in the early 1980's. However, WV images do have mesoscale applications as well. The availability of hourly WV images starting in late 1987 has permitted the monitoring of changes in mid and upper level moisture in the environment of convective storm...
متن کاملHigh-altitude electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms and lightning
The purpose of this paper is to introduce electrical discharge phenomena known as transient luminous events above thunderstorms to the lightning protection community. Transient luminous events include the upward electrical discharges from thunderstorms known as starters, jets, and gigantic jets, and electrical discharges initiated in the lower ionosphere such as sprites, halos, and elves. We gi...
متن کاملLightning charge moment changes in U.S. High Plains thunderstorms
[1] We report measurements of impulsive (2 ms) lightning charge moment changes in more than 1000 cloud-to-ground (CG) return strokes detected by the National Lightning Detection Network in three United States High Plains storms during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) field program of 2000. The positive CG strokes (+CGs) in a mesoscale convective system exh...
