The "Storm of the Century" is a prime example of a major East Coast winter storm. This storm devastated the East Coast from 12-15 March 1993, dumping record amounts of snowfall as well as setting record low pressure readings all along the coast. In addition, gale force winds, large tidal surges, and extremely low temperatures accompanied the storm. In this investigation, the "Storm of the Century" was studied as the prototypical example of a major explosively developing cyclone. The conditions during a less severe ice and snowstorm which occurred from 1-5 March 1994 were compared with those of the "Storm of the Century". The 1994 storm showed similar development and followed a track similar to that of the 1993 storm. These two storms were compared and contrasted at different levels of atmosphere to determine why one storm developed to produce historically significant weather conditions while another achieved conditions considered to be typical for winter along the East Coast of the United States. A larger cold air surge was primarily responsible for the greater intensity of the "Storm of the Century" over the 1994 ice and snow storm. Additionally, temperature and moisture advection played a role in the deepening of the 1993 storm at an earlier stage in the cyclone's development -- Author abstract

snowstorms along the Northeastern Coast of the United States: 1955 to 1985 documents 20 of the most crippling snowstorms that have affected the heavily populated coastal region of the Middle Atlantic states and southern New England over the last four decades. Heavy snowfall and high winds associated with storms often referred to as "nor'easters" can maroon millions of people at home or in transit, severely disrupt human services and commerce, and endanger the lives of those who venture out doors. Paul J. Kocin and Louis W. Uccellini provide answers to questions of how these important storms develop, what factors delineate snow/no snow situations, and what weather patterns provide clues that foretell such events. The book provides a comprehensive overview of this phenomenon from historical, climatological, and dynamical perspectives, using many illustrations, maps, tables, and color schematics. The introduction describes the major effects of such storms, the complex physical interactions that fuel their development, and the problems they present to forecasters trying to predict their fickle behavior and progress. A review of the great northeastern storms of the past three centuries follows, along with a climatology of the heavy snow events over a 30-year period. Descriptions of 20 major storms supply a framework for understanding the dynamical and thermodynamical processes that contribute to heavy snowfall. A summary of the physical processes that contribute to the storms concludes with issues that remain to be resolved. The case-study approach presents a great deal of material contained in hundreds of synoptic analyses in a well-organized and useful layout, allowing case-by-case comparisons of common features and differences. Extensive tables, diagrams, and photographs show weather patterns at the surface and aloft, emphasizing cyclone tracks and deepening rates, the contributions of cold surface anticyclones, cold-air damming and coastal frontogenesis, upper-level processes, jet streak circulations, satellite imagery, and three-dimensional air flow. It is hoped that this book will provide a foundation for researchers and students interested in investigating the processes that interact to produce major winter storms. The weather patterns described here provide a first step in the generation of conceptual models, and also serve as an easily referenced guide for forecasters concerned with predicting heavy snowfalls along the northeastern coast of the United States.

Today's climate variability already has a large impact on water supply and protection. Millions of people are affected every year by droughts and floods. Future climate change is likely to make things worse. Many people within the water sector are aware that climate change is expected to have serious consequences for water resource management, but they are unsure how to incorporate climate information into their management structures. Providing a compendium of specific strategies, Climate Change Adaptation in the Water Sector is the first book to show students and professionals in the water sector how to adapt to climate change and variability. It enables advanced students, managers, decision-makers and other practitioners to feel comfortable in analysing and using climate data within the water sector. The book consists of two parts: the first describes the general issues and is written mainly by the editors of the book, while the second part contains specific case studies drawn from a wide range of contrasting countries: Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and Yemen.

The Regional Snowfall Index, or RSI, is a numerical system developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States to help quantify and compare the severity of snowstorms across different regions. The RSI takes into account several factors, including the amount of snowfall, the area affected, and the population density of the affected region. By using this index, meteorologists and emergency management officials can better prepare for and respond to snowstorms. The RSI is calculated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe. A Category 1 snowstorm is considered a moderate event, affecting a relatively small area with limited population. A Category 5 snowstorm, on the other hand, is a major event affecting a large region with high population density and potentially catastrophic impacts. The RSI is a valuable tool for assessing and communicating the potential impacts of snowfall, allowing officials to make more informed decisions regarding resource allocation and emergency response.
