(Author)Description:The Focus Of This Research Effort Is Directed Toward Identifying New Methods Of Forecasting The Cessation Of Lightning Along The Central Atlantic Coast Of Florida Cloud-To-Ground Lightning Flashes Place Air Force (Af) Personnel And Assets At Risk Almost Daily At This Location Providing A More Accurate Method Of Forecasting The Cessation Of Lightning Would Allow For Safer And More Efficient Execution Of Af Operations A Data Set Consisting Of 40 Thunderstorm Cases Was Identified Within A 90 Nautical Miles (Nmi) Region Surrounding The Melbourne, Florida Wsr-88D (Kmlb) Site Each Case Falls Between The Months Of May And September And The Years Of 1995 Through 1997 Simple And Multiple Linear Regression Models Are Built Using This Dataset Variables Included Max Vertically Integrated Liquid Water (Vil), Max Reflectivity, Max Peak Current, Peak Cumulative Flash Rate, Peak Negative Flash Rate, And Peak Positive Flash Rate Results Indicate That Three Of The Simple Linear Regression Models To Some Extent Accurately Represent The Data Additionally, When The Data Set Is Separated By Thunderstorm Cell Type (Multi Or Single) And Cell Specific Regressions Are Built, Results Indicate That The Regressions Based On The Single-Cell Data Set Produce A Substantial Increase In Forecast Skill Compared To That Of Climatology In Fact, Some Regressions Are Shown To Improve Forecast Accuracy By 90 % Over That Of Climatology Moreover, Multiple Linear Regression Models Are Shown To Produce Similar Results And Further Reinforce The Notion That Each Thunderstorm Cell Type (Multi Or Single) Behaves Substantially Different From The Other With Respect To Forecasting The Cessation Of Lightning Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:BiblioscholarPublication Date:2012-11-01Weight:0.4 lbsDimensions:0.19'' H x 9.69'' L x 7.44'' WNumber of Pages:94Language:English
