This book is about weather extremes in the United Kingdom. It
presents fascinating and detailed insights into tornadoes
(supercell and non-supercell tornadoes, historical and contemporary
case studies, frequency and spatial distributions, and unique data
on extreme events); thunderstorms (epic event analysis and
observing); hailstorms (intensity, distributions and frequency of
high magnitude events); lightning (lightning as a hazard, impacts
and injuries); ball lightning (definitions, impacts and case
studies); flooding (historical and contemporary analysis, extreme
rainfall and flash flooding); snowfalls (heavy snowfall days and
events). It also looks at researching weather extremes, provides
guidance on performing post-storm site investigations and details
what is involved in severe weather forecasting. It is written by
members, directors and past and present Heads of the research group
the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO). With fifteen
chapters thematically arranged, and data appendix including a new
tornado map of the U.K., this book presents a wealth of information
on meteorological extremes. This volume is aimed primarily at
researchers in the field of meteorology and climatology, but will
also be of interest to advanced undergraduate students taking
relevant courses in this area.
