Storm Spotting and Amateur Radio: A Field Guide for Volunteer Storm Spotters A Thesis Presented for the Masters in Criminal Justice Degree The University of Mississippi Michael Corey July 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Michael Corey All rights reserved ABSTRACT Volunteers have played a critical part in relaying weather information since the middle 19 th century. The effort of these volunteers has helped safeguard life and property when severe weather threatens. For almost 100 years Amateur Radio operators have played a critical part in severe weather preparedness and response. Amateur Radio operators not only bring a willingness to serve, but communications skills that provide an added benefit to any storm spotter program. The National Weather Service recognized this when developing the SKYWARN program during the 1960’s. Amateur Radio and the National Weather Service have developed over the last 40 years a solid relationship that has been beneficial to communities across the country that face the threat of severe weather. This project, the first of its kind, seeks to gather information together that will help better prepare Amateur Radio operators that serve as volunteer storm spotters. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the American Radio Relay League and the faculty of the University of Mississippi Legal Studies Department for their support and encouragement. ii Dedication This work is dedicated to Fred Selley, K9MXG (SK) my grandfather and mentor iii PREFACE Portions of this work were written by contributing authors. Their contributions are critical to the overall function of this document. The portions authored by contributing writers are indicated. This work was also published as a book by the American Radio Relay League in 2010. The content has been repurposed for this thesis by the publisher. Since its release in April 2010 it has been regarded as one of the best sources of information available to the Amateur Radio community about severe weather readiness. Currently it is available worldwide through the publisher. The intended audience is the Amateur Radio community involved in storm spotting through the National Weather Service’s SKYWARN program. Because of this there is terminology used in this work that is understood by the Amateur Radio licensees, but not by the general public. Where possible clarification will be made. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.

(1) The first documented case of Amateur Radio operators assisting during a communications emergency was in 1913 when the Midwest was struck by severe flooding. Amateur Radio operators from Ohio and Michigan relayed vital information via radio when normal lines of communication were down. For over a hundred years Amateur Radio operators have continued to answer the call when normal means of communication are disrupted or overloaded. The United States experiences a greater amount and variety of severe weather than any other nation on Earth. (2) Severe weather affects not only our ability to communicate but nearly every aspect of infrastructure and day to day lives. It poses a never ending immediate and clear threat to life and property. It is because of this that severe weather preparedness is critical in our nation’s homeland security plan. (Nationwide Plan Review). A critical part to severe weather preparedness is to have accurate, valid, and reliable weather information relayed to National Weather Service forecasters. This information provides ground truth information that allows the forecasters to fulfill the NWS mission to help safeguard life and property. This information is provided by trained volunteer storm spotters as well as

  • Polarimetric Radar Characteristics of Tornadogenesis Failure in Supercell Thunderstorms
    atmosphere Article Polarimetric Radar Characteristics of Tornadogenesis Failure in Supercell Thunderstorms Matthew Van Den Broeke Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Many nontornadic supercell storms have times when they appear to be moving toward tornadogenesis, including the development of a strong low-level vortex, but never end up producing a tornado. These tornadogenesis failure (TGF) episodes can be a substantial challenge to operational meteorologists. In this study, a sample of 32 pre-tornadic and 36 pre-TGF supercells is examined in the 30 min pre-tornadogenesis or pre-TGF period to explore the feasibility of using polarimetric radar metrics to highlight storms with larger tornadogenesis potential in the near-term. Overall the results indicate few strong distinguishers of pre-tornadic storms. Differential reflectivity (ZDR) arc size and intensity were the most promising metrics examined, with ZDR arc size potentially exhibiting large enough differences between the two storm subsets to be operationally useful. Change in the radar metrics leading up to tornadogenesis or TGF did not exhibit large differences, though most findings were consistent with hypotheses based on prior findings in the literature.

  • Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane Ivan
    Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Ivan 2-24 September 2004 Stacy R. Stewart National Hurricane Center 16 December 2004 Updated 27 May 2005 to revise damage estimate Updated 11 August 2011 to revise damage estimate Ivan was a classical, long-lived Cape Verde hurricane that reached Category 5 strength three times on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS). It was also the strongest hurricane on record that far south east of the Lesser Antilles. Ivan caused considerable damage and loss of life as it passed through the Caribbean Sea. a. Synoptic History Ivan developed from a large tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on 31 August. Although the wave was accompanied by a surface pressure system and an impressive upper-level outflow pattern, associated convection was limited and not well organized. However, by early on 1 September, convective banding began to develop around the low-level center and Dvorak satellite classifications were initiated later that day. Favorable upper-level outflow and low shear environment was conducive for the formation of vigorous deep convection to develop and persist near the center, and it is estimated that a tropical depression formed around 1800 UTC 2 September. Figure 1 depicts the “best track” of the tropical cyclone’s path. The wind and pressure histories are shown in Figs. 2a and 3a, respectively. Table 1 is a listing of the best track positions and intensities. Despite a relatively low latitude (9.7o N), development continued and it is estimated that the cyclone became Tropical Storm Ivan just 12 h later at 0600 UTC 3 September.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.
