  • ESSENTIALS of METEOROLOGY (7Th Ed.) GLOSSARY
    ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY (7th ed.) GLOSSARY Chapter 1 Aerosols Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc.) or liquid droplets that enter the atmosphere from either natural or human (anthropogenic) sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal, produce sulfate aerosols. Air density The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied by it. Air density is usually expressed as g/cm3 or kg/m3. Also See Density. Air pressure The pressure exerted by the mass of air above a given point, usually expressed in millibars (mb), inches of (atmospheric mercury (Hg) or in hectopascals (hPa). pressure) Atmosphere The envelope of gases that surround a planet and are held to it by the planet's gravitational attraction. The earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) A colorless, odorless gas whose concentration is about 0.039 percent (390 ppm) in a volume of air near sea level. It is a selective absorber of infrared radiation and, consequently, it is important in the earth's atmospheric greenhouse effect. Solid CO2 is called dry ice. Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. Front The transition zone between two distinct air masses. Hurricane A tropical cyclone having winds in excess of 64 knots (74 mi/hr). Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist. Lapse rate The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.) Mesosphere The atmospheric layer between the stratosphere and the thermosphere.

  • Severe Weather
    Juniata County Appendix C Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Hazard Profiles Severe Weather General Severe weather affects the entire Commonwealth and can be expected any time of the year. Severe weather for Juniata County is considered to include: blizzards and/or heavy snowfall, heavy fog, hail, heavy precipitation (rain), high winds, ice storms, unseasonable temperature extremes, hurricanes, and severe thunderstorms. (Tornados will be discussed in a separate profile.) Snowstorms occur approximately five times per year. These storms are more prevalent in the northern and western regions of Pennsylvania and include ice and high wind. They are frequently seen in Juniata County. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and windstorms occur in Juniata County in the spring and summer. Most hurricanes that approach Juniata County are downgraded to tropical storms or tropical depressions by the time they reach central Pennsylvania. Heavy rain and flooding produced by a hurricane, tropical storm, or tropical depression will have the greatest impact on the County. Extreme temperatures can be devastating to any area. Extreme heat can cause sunburn, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat/sun stroke. Likewise, extreme cold can cause hypothermia and frost bite. History Juniata County, as well as the entire Commonwealth, is vulnerable to a wide range of natural disasters. Typically, these disasters are caused by severe weather. A summary of disaster declarations from severe weather that affected Juniata County can be seen below. Disaster Declarations

  • Cold Wave/Ice Storms
    Cold Wave/Ice Storms ce storms can occur from early fall to late spring depending on the geographic I location. Winter storms can bring heavy snow, wind, freezing rain, ice, and severe cold waves. Temperatures can drop dramatically during a storm and cause serious damage to roadways, personal property, and community services. How it Might Impact Your Utility Service • Loss of power due to downed trees, downed utility poles, and towers. • Loss of communication infrastructure. • Loss of heat. • Damage to water mains and pipes. • Damage to residential and commercial utility lines. • Restricted access to facilities due to debris, snow, and ice resulting in service restoration delays. • Extended cold weather can cause lakes and rivers to freeze. A rise in the water level or thawing afterward can break the ice into large sections that become jammed. -GINEQWGEREGXEWEHEQVIWYPXMRKMRWIZIVIƽSSHMRKERHHIWXVYGXMSRSJLSQIW roadways, and personal property.

  • Winter Weather Terminology
    Winter Weather Terminology Watch is issued when the risk of a hazardous winter weather event has increased, but its occurrence, location, and/or timing is still uncertain. Warning or Advisory is issued when a hazardous winter weather event is occurring, is imminent, or has a high probability of occurrence. A warning is used when there is a threat to life or property. An advisory is for less serious conditions that cause inconvenience, and, if caution is not used, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property. Snow criteria for a warning is 6 inches or more in 12 hours or less, OR, 8 inches or more in 24 hours or less. Snow criteria for an advisory is 3 to 5 inches. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories may be issued for a combination of elements like snow coupled with wind and blowing snow, or snow coupled with sleet and freezing rain. Sleet is pellets of ice. Sleet bounces when it hits the ground. Freezing Rain is rain that freezes when it hits the ground or objects on the ground. It forms a sheet or glaze of ice. Ice Storm is used to describe occasions when the ice from freezing rain is significant enough (1/4 inch thick or more) to cause damage. Blizzard is a storm with winds of 35 mph or higher AND visibility frequently below 1/4 mile in snow and/or blowing snow AND these conditions last three (3) hours or longer. There is no set temperature requirement for a blizzard. Wind Chill is that part of the cooling of a human body caused by moving air.

  • Are You Winter Weather Ready? Notable Ice Storms
    Winter is Here! Are you Winter Weather Ready? Although NOAA and the National Weather Service define winter as the months of December, January and February, winter in eastern New York and western New England often runs from November through April, especially in the higher terrain. November and early December is known as the “Brown Season” as the vegetation has gone into the dormant stage. By mid-December, the threat of heavy lake effect snow and heavy snow from powerful nor’easters increases. The threat of significant ice storms also increases across the region with significant ice storms recorded from November through April. Periods of extreme cold and windy conditions and the threat of winter storms continue through the winter into spring. The following is a list of notable winter storms with some links for reference. This is not meant to be an all- inclusive list, but a list to give an idea of what weather conditions to be prepared for in the winter so you can be winter weather ready. Notable Ice Storms: December 11-12, 2008 Up to an inch of ice accretion in the Albany Forecast Area. Widespread power outages from downed trees and wires in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut. In the Albany Forecast Area, over 200,000 customers lost power with some residents without power for 5 to 7 days. Lots of basement flooding from sump pump backup-battery failure during prolonged power outages. Storm produced moderate river flooding from heavy rain and power outages from glaze breaking trees and wires at the same time in Litchfield County, CT.

  • Ice Storm Learning Module
    Ice Storm Learning Module In the United States there are over 1.4 million car accidents each year that occur due to freezing precipitation. From these accidents, there are over 600,000 injuries and 7,000 deaths. Freezing precipitation is responsible for about 20% of all weather- related fatalities, and thus it is abundantly clear why we must learn how freezing rain forms in winter low pressure systems 1. Our goal in this learning module is to first uncover the meteorology of ice storms and then discuss winter storm safety. Figure 1. Images from an ice storm in Arkansas in 2009. Source Introduction The National Weather Service will issue a freezing rain warning on the forecast of at least ¼ inch accumulation of ice. Aside from making automobile travel treacherous, ice is extremely heavy when it accumulates on trees and power lines. In fact, a ½” coating of ice on a single, standard length (300 ft) power line in a residential area can add nearly 300 lbs of weight. Put an inch of ice on the same power line and you will add 800 lbs! It is easy to see why the power lines are down in the images in Figure 1. As an interesting side note, at the University of Illinois all power lines are buried beneath the ground to protect the university’s power infrastructure in the event of a major ice storm. Before we dig into the meteorology behind an ice storm, let’s take a few minutes to learn some important facts about ice. 1. Liquid water is more dense than ice.

SUMMARY evere ice storms occur every year in the United States, particularly in the midwestern and eastern regions, result- ing in millions of dollars in monetary losses. Tree species S vary in their resistance to ice accumulation. Certain charac- teristics, such as “included” bark, dead and decaying branches, a broad crown, and fine branching, increase a tree’s susceptibility to ice storm damage. Planting trees resistant to ice storms and performing regular tree mainte- nance to remove structural weaknesses will reduce damage caused by severe ice storms.
