It specifically deals with his plans for industrial and economic development and how the civil rights movement and integration impacted those plans. The thesis of this work is that the Hollings administration devised a peaceful solution to racial integration that left the state‟s industrial and economic development pursuits unharmed and untarnished.

  • Historical Winter Storm Atlas for Germany (Gewisa)
    atmosphere Article Historical Winter Storm Atlas for Germany (GeWiSA) Christopher Jung * and Dirk Schindler Environmental Meteorology, Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg, Werthmannstrasse 10, D-79085 Freiburg, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-761-203-6822 Received: 31 May 2019; Accepted: 8 July 2019; Published: 11 July 2019 Abstract: Long-term gust speed (GS) measurements were used to develop a winter storm atlas of the 98 most severe winter storms in Germany in the period 1981–2018 (GeWiSa). The 25 m 25 m × storm-related GS fields were reconstructed in a two-step procedure: Firstly, the median gust speed (GSf) of all winter storms was modeled by a least-squares boosting (LSBoost) approach. Orographic features and surface roughness were used as predictor variables. Secondly, the quotient of GS related to each winter storm to GSf, which was defined as storm field factor (STF), was calculated and mapped by a thin plate spline interpolation (TPS). It was found that the mean study area-wide GS associated with the 2007 storm Kyrill is highest (29.7 m/s). In Southern Germany, the 1999 storm Lothar, with STF being up to 2.2, was the most extreme winter storm in terms of STF and GS. The results demonstrate that the variability of STF has a considerable impact on the simulated GS fields. Event-related model validation yielded a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.786 for the test dataset. The developed GS fields can be used as input to storm damage models representing storm hazard. With the knowledge of the storm hazard, factors describing the vulnerability of storm exposed objects and structures can be better estimated, resulting in improved risk management.

    Met Office European Windstorm Event Response Services Presenting Author: Bernd Becker Bernd Becker 1 [email protected] Paul Maisey 1 [email protected] Claire Scannell 1 [email protected] Lorna Mitchell 1 [email protected] Emilie Vanvyve 1 [email protected] Hamish Steptoe 1 [email protected] 1. Met Office, United Kingdom European windstorms are capable of producing devastating socioeconomic impacts. Specifically, they are capable of causing power outages to millions of people, closing transport networks, uprooting trees, causing walls, buildings and other structures to collapse, which in the worst cases can result in dozens of fatalities. In Europe windstorm presents the greatest natural hazard risk for primary insurers. Although average claims are much smaller for wind peril than for flood, the high volume of claims results in the greatest aggregate loss. In the low loss winter of 2013/2014 alone storms Christian, Xaver, Dirk and Tini cost the insurance industry an estimated EUR 2500m. The Met Office provides leading meteorological hazard insight to reinsurers, insurers, traders and brokers. Services include Windstorm hazard maps for underwriting and portfolio management, historical windstorm footprints and an event set for risk modelling and capital reserving, alerts and impact analysis of incoming storm events for operations and loss forecasting and forecast scenarios with probabilities for trading weather sensitive stocks. Additionally the Met Office can undertake climate and weather impact investigations tailored to specific financial contexts, as well as detailed modelling and analysis following a major event. In this short presentation we will exemplify our product portfolio in the light of the events during the 2014/2015 winter season.
