About this ebook
""Superstorms"" examines the science behind extreme weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes, focusing on prediction, intensification, and the impact of climate change. Understanding these increasingly powerful storms is critical for public safety and environmental planning. For instance, rising sea surface temperatures can significantly intensify hurricanes, while shifts in atmospheric patterns may increase tornado frequency. The book explains how forecasting technologies have evolved, from basic observations to sophisticated computer models. It highlights the atmospheric and oceanic conditions that fuel storm power and explores the link between climate change and the increasing severity of these events.
""Superstorms"" presents a logical progression of concepts, beginning with foundational atmospheric science and moving to the specific dynamics of hurricanes and tornadoes. Later chapters delve into prediction methods, climate change impacts, and mitigation strategies, such as improved infrastructure. By integrating scientific analysis with practical guidance, the book provides valuable insights for policymakers, emergency professionals, and anyone interested in understanding and preparing for extreme weather.
