The distinction between watches and warnings in the case of Angus Tornado occurs in the sense that: A watch occurs in an event that there are favorable atmospheric conditions for the development of extreme thunderstorms with a potential to produce a tornado. For instance, in the case of Angus Tornado, there was a favorable atmospheric phenomenon for the occurrence of thunderstorms such as existences of winds moving at speeds 50 knots and above were recorded with hails characterized by diameters larger than 1 inch. However, warnings are imminent conditions characterized by existence of thunderstorms, which produced a tornado in ...

The air near the surface will usually become warmer throughout the day. This is one of the main reasons why it is unstable. Then at night, the air that is close to the surface will begin to cool. This is going to form a temperature inversion or a stable atmosphere.2. Inversions aloft are sometimes called “capping inversions” or “lids”. Why?

Impact of Benjamin Franklin's Charts of the Golf Stream on the Shipping Industry

The Gulf Stream is a gigantic current that flows from the Mexican Gulf, past the Florida Peninsula, U.S. East Coast and up to Cape Hatteras. The current then flows across the Atlantic towards Iceland, British Isles, and to Norway. Viewed from the Straits of Florida, the stream has a width of approximately forty miles. Its speed can go as high as five miles per hour (4.3 nautical knots). As the current flows into North Atlantic, the width widens and can increase to up to hundreds of miles at some points (Richardson 51). The amount of water carried by the ...

A light sport aircraft (LSA) is a plane that is characterized by its small size, flight simplicity, and restrictions regarding weight and performance. LSAs have become increasingly popular in recent years as a result of low cost, low fuel consumption, and decreased pilot experience requirements. This has made them aircrafts of choice for flight schools as well as private owners. The aviation requirements for regional pilots to have served for a certain minimum number of flight hours before applying for private pilot certificate has contributed to LSAs providing grounds for building flight hours for those willing to pursue a ...
