  • The Fujita Scale Is Used to Rate the Intensity of a Tornado by Examining the Damage Caused by the Tornado After It Has Passed Over a Man-Made Structure
    The Fujita Scale is used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after it has passed over a man-made structure. The "Percentage of All Tornadoes 1950- 1994" pie chart reveals that the vast majority of tornadoes are either weak or do damage that can only be attributed to a weak tornado. Only a small percentage of tornadoes can be correctly classed as violent. Such a chart became possible only after the acceptance of the Fujita Scale as the official classification system for tornado damage. It is quite possible that an even higher percentage of all tornadoes are weak. Each year the National Weather Service documents about 1000 tornado touchdowns in the United States. There is evidence that 1000 or more additional weak tornadoes may occur each year and go completely undocumented. The "Percentage of Tornado-Related Deaths 1950-1994" pie chart shows that while violent tornadoes are few in number, they cause a very high percentage of tornado-related deaths. The Tornado Project has analyzed data prior to 1950, and found that the percentage of deaths from violent tornadoes was even greater in the past. This is because the death tolls prior to the introduction of the forecasting/awareness programs were enormous: 695 dead(Missouri-Illinois-Indiana, March 18, 1925); 317 dead(Natchez, Mississippi, May 7, 1840);.255 dead(St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois, May 27, 1896); 216 dead(Tupelo, Mississippi, April 5, 1936); 203 dead(Gainesville, GA, April 6, 1936). In more recent times, no single tornado has killed more than 50 people since 1971.

  • Temperature Change and Its Effects on the Great Lakes Climate
    Temperature Change and its Effects on the Great Lake’s Climate. Ross Ellet Professor: Matthew Huber April 28, 2005 Temperature change and its effects on the Great Lakes climate. The Great Lakes create a very unique sub climate zone that is unlike most areas in the world. The Great Lakes act as a climate moderator. They contain some of the biggest fresh water lakes in the world. This allows temperature moderation to occur. Typically the lakes keep the eastward coastlines more humid. Since there is more humidity, clouds are more frequent. Thus the temperature fluctuation on a daily basis is a little less than areas not affected by the Great Lakes. This in turn affects the precipitation that falls, when it falls, and where it falls. In the winter time the cold air masses blow over the relatively warm water which creates lake-effect snowfall. This is a very important social and economical impact the climate has on the Great Lakes region. So what happens when a climate change occurs in this area? What types of impacts will it have on the Great Lakes region? Will it be any different than those areas directly west of the Great Lakes? Theory and Research Aral Sea In order to understand climate change in the Great Lakes, first one must understand the dynamics of what is already occurring. The Great Lakes is unlike most lakes in the world due to its size, power, and potential to affect climate. However, there is another body of water that is just as significant. The Aral Sea, which is located in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, is an important tool to see how much a large body of water affects climate.

  • Midwest to Northeast U.S. Winter Storm 12-13 March, 2014 By: Kwan-Yin Kong, WPC Meteorologist
    Midwest to Northeast U.S. Winter Storm 12-13 March, 2014 By: Kwan-yin Kong, WPC meteorologist Meteorological Overview: A fast-moving winter storm brought a swath of significant snowfall from the Midwest eastward through the lower Great Lakes and across northern New England during the second week of March 2014 (fig. 1 and 2). The storm was a consequence of baroclinic development as a progressive upper-level trough from the Pacific merged with a shortwave trough dropping southeastward from central Canada. The surface low pressure center of the storm can be tracked back to the foothills in northern Wyoming on 10 March when the Pacific upper trough began to move off the Rockies into the High Plains (fig. 1). At this time, the upper-level shortwave trough was beginning to head southward from central Canada but was still quite far away from the surface low center. With a lack of upper-level support, the surface low deepened very slowly along a nearly stationary front while moving east-southeastward across the central plains. By 11 March, the shortwave trough and the associated cold air mass was moving into the Upper Midwest and approached the low pressure system in the central plains (fig. 3a, b). As the two systems merged over the Midwest early on 12 March, a new low pressure center formed near the Illinois-Indiana border and began to intensify rapidly under a favorable baroclinic environment (fig. 3c, d). Precipitation with embedded thunderstorms formed north of the surface low and became heavy at times as the coverage expanded rapidly to the east-northeast into the lower Great Lakes and New England during the day on 12 March (fig.

  • Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook Great Lakes Region
    Quarterly Climate Impacts Great Lakes Region and Outlook December 2016 Great Lakes Significant Events - for September - November 2016 Fall 2016 was unseasonably warm across the entire Great Lakes basin. In the U.S., Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin experienced their warmest fall season in 122 years of records, while it was the 2nd warmest for Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. In Ontario, Toronto, Hamilton, Gore Bay, and Sudbury also experienced their warmest fall on record. Despite a few noteworthy precipitation events, conditions in the Great Lakes were generally dry over the past three months, the exception being Lake Superior, where water supplies were slightly above average. This was offset by high Lake Superior outflows, and dry conditions elsewhere resulted in all lakes declining more than average during the fall. The Windsor area in southwestern Ontario was deluged by a significant rainfall event from September 28-30. The Windsor airport reported over 110 mm (4.3 in) from the event, while volunteer rain gauge reports just north of the airport in Tecumseh measured amounts in excess of 190 mm (7.5 in). Strong gale-force winds raced across the Great Lakes on November 19-20. Marquette, Michigan reported gusts of 80-97 km/hr (50-60 mph), resulting in very large waves of over 7 m (24 ft) on the southeastern shoreline of Lake Superior. Strong westerly winds over Lake Erie produced a storm surge event, raising the water level by 0.6 m (2 ft) on the eastern edge by Buffalo, New York and dropping the water level by 0.8 m (2.5 ft) at the western edge by Toledo, Ohio.
