Applying a climatologically oriented GIS in comparison of TRMM estimated severe thunderstorm rainfalls with ground truth in Sydney metropolitan area

The main objective of the current research was comparison of severe thunderstorm rainfalls with TRMM data when flash flooding events observed in the Sydney Metropolitan Area (SMA) located in NSW, Australia. Severe Thunderstorm Rainfall Events have been first extracted from the severe storm archive of the Australian BOM, by induction of specific criteria. The corresponded derived dataset includ...

Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Mortality Rate Caused by Severe Stroke

Materials and Method...

An Experimental Search for Gamma Radiation Associated . With Thunderstorm Activity*

This eZp&iment is a repeat of an earlier experiment,’ but with more sensitive appaTatus and in a location with a higher incidence of thunderstorm activity. The experiment of Ref. (1) was undertaken by Ashby and Whitehead (AW) to investigate the theory that ball lightning might be associa.ted with the annihilation of small amounts of antimatter, and it yielded some very int.eresting but inconclu...
