The Online Tornado FAQ (by Roger Edwards, SPC)
There, the orientation and speed of the winds create vertical shear profiles somewhat resembling those around classic Great Plains supercells--the shear being in a shallower layer but often stronger. What are some technical scientific references I can use? Here is a sampling of technical scientific references for those doing in-depth research studies
The predicted landing spots meant there was no hurry to get back into the cars to chase the payloads, so we had plenty of time to watch the images come in and grab some food. Also, the winds at different altitudes can be in different directions, and this flight went south then east then north and and finally west for a while on ascent
Nuclear deterrence of conventional warfare, and protection against collateral civilian damage and contamination
http://glasstone.blogspot.com/2006/03/emp-radiation-from-nuclear-space.htmlMost of the heavy elements including iron, silicon and calcium in the Earth and people are the stable end products of originally radioactive decay chains from the space burst fallout of a 7 x 1026 megatons thermonuclear explosion, created by fusion and successive neutron captures after the implosion of a white dwarf; a supernova explosion. Compare this to the initial upward speed of only 6 times earth's escape velocity, achieved by the 10-cm thick, 1.2 m diameter steel cover blown off the top of the 152 m shaft of the 0.3 kt Plumbbob-Pascal B underground Nevada test on 27 August 1957

Some of these are the Bora, a cold northerly wind blowing from the Alps to the Mediterranean coast; the chinook, a warm wind down the east slope of the Rocky Mountains often reaching hundreds of miles into the high plains; the Taku, a cold wind in Alaska blowing off the Taku glacier; and the Santa Ana, a warm wind descending from the Sierras into the Santa Ana Valley of California. AIR MASSES Air masses When a body of air comes to rest or moves slowly over an extensive area having fairly uniform properties of temperature and moisture, the air takes on those properties
The top of the visible aurora peters out at about 2-300 km (120-200 miles), but sometimes high altitude aurora can be seen as high as 600 km (350 miles). These gaps are usually thinner than the arc thickness next to the gap, and they look like a black auroral curtain embedded in the bright auroral glow around them
There is of course always the possibility of war or terrorism, as stated above, but let's be honest, how many of you have considered what would happen in case of war or terrorism on a 8 lane highway at rush hours ?!!?!? We can't let fear of new technologies govern our lives, that's what the Catholic church did during the middle ages, and look where that got us ! Stefan Padureanu Where do I start...... The Germans flew many transport planes in WW2 with Diesel engines at a time when the Diesel engine was still in its infancy and had a really poor power to weight ratio

At this point, there may even be a reversal of the glutamate transporter, further contributing to the cellular leakage of glutamate." "When glutamate reaches high concentrations, it kills neurons by overexciting them, a process called excitotoxicity. Your doctor can perform test on you to see how well your particular physiology responds to hypoxic conditions (lack of oxygen), so this would be advisable before any trips to the mountains
The Science of Air Density
In certain cases, density may also be used to refer to how closely packed together materials appear to be.Given water's importance to the natural world, it is no wonder that it is so often used as a control substance or point of comparison. You should go for nutrient-dense foods because of their great nutrition.The nutrient-dense meal requires one serving of the healthy protein source like legumes, poultry, fish or lean meat
High Altitude Baking
I have tried some of your trips and have been able to master a chocolate chip cookie, better than anything I was able to make at sea level too! I am just thrilled to add your site to my favorites! Reply Starla 5 Mar, 2014 Aloha Megan, I am so glad to have discovered your blog. Happy baking! Reply Carlee 18 May, 2013 Your advice worked quite well, thank you so much!! No more packing cake flour in my luggage when I go home to the States
What causes altitude sickness? There is so much less oxygen in the high mountains that it is not surprising that travelling to high altitude causes people to feel unwell, but how this shortage of oxygen actually leads to altitude sickness is still not fully understood. There are many stories of fit and healthy people being badly limited by symptoms of acute mountain sickness, while their older companions have felt fine
- Altitude Training
As a result, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and health conscious individuals worldwide can take advantage of the benefits associated with altitude training while at sea-level
Evaporation, The Water Cycle, from USGS Water-Science School
As this map shows, evaporative coolers work best in the dry areas of the United States (red areas marked A) and can work somewhat in the blue areas marked B.

That raggedness is a physical readout of the lateral motions in the layers; they are sliding sideways to each other, for what you see is the result of what happened. Thanks!

How Does Cooking at High Altitude Affect Recipes?
Therefore, you should use less leavening (about 20 percent less at 5,000 feet) as your elevation increases.And because of the faster evaporation described earlier, you may need to increase the amount of liquid in batters and doughs
What is Air Pressure? (with pictures)
Above 100 km or just over 62 miles above the surface, the international definition for outer space, the pressure approaches zero and nearly becomes a vacuum. On the earth's surface, for example, it is known as "atmospheric pressure" and refers to the weight of the earth's atmosphere pressing down on everything
To see why humid air is less dense than dry air, we need to turn to one of the laws of nature the Italian physicist Amadeo Avogadro discovered in the early 1800s. In simple terms, he found that a fixed volume of gas, say one cubic meter, at the same temperature and pressure, would always have the same number of molecules no matter what gas is in the container
But when the sky is blue and the summer sun is hot, even seasoned pilots can forget to carefully calculate takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance during preflight planning, sometimes resulting in accidents. How Will High Density Altitude Affect Flight? On a hot and humid day, the aircraft will accelerate more slowly down the runway, will need to move faster to attain the same lift, and will climb more slowly
Tire pressure is measured in pounds per square inch (psi) and can be measured easily at your local gas station or with a gauge you can buy at any auto supply center. If you didn't grow up in a garage or your high school didn't have an auto shop to learn from, auto service can easily be a less than enjoyable experience
More importantly, a thicker atmosphere will distribute equator-pole and day-night temperatures more equably Since radiation is proportional to the 4th power of temperature, a surface with constant temperature T will radiate away less energy than a surface with the same average temperature distributed differently. While it is true that the other gases emit some small amount of thermal IR and microwave energy, they are so much less efficient at it than water vapor, CO2, and methane that they are for practical purposes considered transparent
