متن کاملTornado Intensity Estimated from Damage Path Dimensions
The Newcastle/Moore and El Reno tornadoes of May 2013 are recent reminders of the destructive power of tornadoes. A direct estimate of a tornado's power is difficult and dangerous to get. An indirect estimate on a categorical scale is available from a post-storm survery of the damage. Wind speed bounds are attached to the scale, but the scale is not adequate for analyzing trends in tornado inte...
متن کاملRating Tornado Damage: an Exercise in Subjectivity
Tornado ratings from the 1950s into the early 1970s were based almost entirely upon remote, post-event review of media articles and photographs (Schaefer and Edwards 1998). Starting in the middle 1970s, local National Weather Service (NWS) offices have assigned F-scale ratings to most tornadoes based on a blend of f irst-hand surveys by their meteorologists and anecdotal evidence from news medi...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Conditional Maximum Tornado Damage Probabilities
Considerable effort in recent decades has focused on near-storm environment interrogation via model-based planar fields (e.g., Stensrud et al. 1997) and model-based proximity soundings in order to discriminate between nontornadic and significant (> F2) tornado environments for supercells (e.g., Thompson et al. 2003, hereafter T03; Thompson et al. 2007). This emphasis in severe environment discr...
متن کاملQuinolones: Recent Structural and Clinical Developments
Quinolones are a very important family of antibacterial agents that are widely prescribed for the treatment of infections in humans. Since their discovery in the early 1960s, the quinolone group of antibacterials has generated considerable clinical and scientific interest. Two major groups of compounds have been developed from the basic molecule: quinolones and naphthyridones. The 4-pyridone-3-...
