The book investigates why thunder varies in intensity, explaining how distance, atmospheric conditions, and even landscape topography can affect its loudness, drawing on research in atmospheric acoustics and meteorology.
The book explains how thunder, combined with lightning data, assists in tracking thunderstorms and improving weather predictions. Thunder Facts details the use of lightning detection networks and acoustic monitoring, which enhance the accuracy of early warning systems.
Progressing from basic physics to thunderstorm dynamics, the book explores factors influencing audibility and applications of thunder data, ending with current research and future study directions.
