Predicting Storms The Adventure Begins

PREDICTING STORMS - The Adventure BeginsBY ROBERT ELLISRobert Ellis' full colour paperback book shows ordinary people how to predict a storm long before it is even visible to radar or satellite. Many lives can be saved by using the simple rules explained in the book. As many as 500,000 people worldwide may die in large storms each year. Traditional weather forecasts can currently only give around 13 minutes' lead time for tornadoes spawned by supercell thunderstorms. The Tornado Early Warning Rule first published in this book gives at least 3 hours early warning of a tornadic supercell thunderstorm. Predicting Storms covers practical information such as whether you can walk to work, or if there will be a storm or rain in your area within the next hour or two. All types of storms are covered in the book: Severe Thunderstorms, tornadic supercell thunderstorms, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, extratropical cyclones, tropical storms, tornadoes, firestorms, weather bombs, windstorms, dust storms, and snowstorms.Barometer rules apply to storms on land and at sea, so sea and surf are another important part of the book. Readers will learn the 'secret of the swell'.Predicting Storms explains how a small increase in carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere makes a critical difference to the Earth's climate and why we can expect stronger storms in a warmer world.Whether you are a general reader, a surfer, a weather watcher, a storm-spotter, or a storm-chaser, Predicting Storms will give you the tools to predict all storms confidently.The book has two useful, easy-to-use highly rated companion apps that users can download free, Thunder & Bushfire Storms app, and Stormy Sea Watcher app.The author, Robert Ellis has a BSc (Hons) from Sydney University.
