Storms and Stories
… and critical introduction that follows, <em>Storms and Stories</em>, focuses around the issues of class, place, and the environment. Specifically, this collection of eight stories explores present and future environments that the climate crisis creates, tension between rural and urban spaces, …

Atmospheric Dynamics of Sub-Tropical Dust Storms
… Saudi Arabian, and Bodélé Depression dust storms. For each dust storm case study, MERRA reanalysis datasets, WRF simulated very high resolution datasets, MODIS/Aqua and Terra images, EUMETSAT images, NAAPS aerosol modelling plots, CALIPSO images, surface observations, and rawinsonde …

Can silhouette execution mitigate VM boot storms?
… that result from these - often daily - boot storms is clearly expensive. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether a hypervisor could theoretically exploit the overlap in the instruction streams of concurrently booting VMs to reduce CPU pressure in boot storms. This idea, which we name …

Upper ocean response to storms: a resonant system
… mostly in short bursts associated with storms. These events have been dubbed episodic cooling events, although it has been shown (Large et al. 1986) that the associated decrease in MLT is primarily due to vertical heat re-distribution within the water column rather than heat loss to the …

Characterizing and Forecasting Severe Convective Storms using Deep Learning
… impact of climate change on severe convective storms (SCSs), and the application of deep learning (DL) for forecasting tornadic supercell environments. This research evaluated the performance of the deep learning model Pangu-Weather in forecasting tornadic environments one day in advance. …

Automatic prediction of solar flares and super geomagnetic storms
… believed to be the major causes of geomagnetic storms. Thus, establishing a real time forecasting method for them is very important in space weather study. The topics covered in this dissertation are: the relationship between magnetic gradient and magnetic shear of solar active regions; the …

Exploring methods to extract vertical motions in winter storms
… cyclones observed during the Profiling of Winter Storms (PLOWS) project. First, the profiler radial velocity measurements from two storms are compared statistically to radial velocity measurements of the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) aboard the NSF/NCAR C-130 using Contoured Frequency by Altitude …

Land Cover Influences on Stream Nitrogen Dynamics During Storms
… and the scale of influence could change during storms. The purpose of my study was to understand how land cover influences nitrogen in streams during storms. This was address using nine watersheds within the Little Tennessee Basin in North Carolina. While this basin is primarily forested, the …

Numerical Simulation of the Dynamics of Summer Shamal Dust Storms
… for the formation of summer Shamal dust storms over the Low-Elevated (LE) region at 20^∘-30^∘N and 45^∘-55^∘E of the Arabian Peninsula (AP). Ten Shamal case studies based on the most intense dust storms in June and July between 2008 and 2012 and a null case study were selected using the …

SYNOPTIC PATTERNS ASSOCIATED WITH NORTHEAST AND South east ice Storms
<p>Wintertime storms that produce precipitation events such as snow, freezing rain, and ice pellets cause significant damage to utility services and disrupt travel. These synoptic systems involve deep isothermal regions where warm, moist air over-runs surface sub-freezing air. Much attention has …

Advanced Methods for the Selection of Urban Runoff Design Storms
… a criterion for the selection of a set of design storms. Expectation and optimization are applied to obtain reliable design storms. Results indicate that both expectation and optimization analysis yield reliable design storms. Application of expectation analysis to a two-parameter design storm …

Ice storms as a disturbance factor in Appalachian oak forests
Ice (glaze) storms are frequent natural disturbances in eastern deciduous forests. Two opposing hypotheses exist in the literature regarding the effect of glaze on forest succession. In the first view, succession is said to be accelerated as pioneer species sustain greater damage than equilibrium …

MONITORING INFILTRATION FROM NATURAL STORMS USING TIME-LAPSE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY
Time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (TL-ERT) enables an accurate characterization of the heterogeneity of flow through the unsaturated zone especially when compared to point measurements taken within the same survey area. The most powerful tool for understanding the unsaturated zone is a …

An emergency preparedness framework for Sand andDust Storms (SDSs) in Kuwait
… lack of preparedness framework for Sand and Dust Storms (SDSs) globally and regionally and the existing disaster response strategies are not fit for purpose. Evidence suggests that research is warranted in this area. Thus, this research aims to investigate and develop the emergency preparedness …

The Numerical Simulation of Orographic Storms (Wales, Seeder-Feeder Mechanism, Bergeron)
Recent observational studies of winter storms over the Glamorgan Hills of south Wales (Browning et al., 1974, and Hill et al., 1981) have confirmed the importance of the seeder-feeder mechanism of orographic precipitation enhancement, proposed by Bergeron (1965). However, the latter study also …
