Abstract:

Extreme weather phenomena are of paramount interest for nearly every facet of society: highway safety, flood prevention measures, crop yield, general public safety, etc. As the climate changes, it is important to understand how severe weather changes. We investigate spatial patterns in two large scale indicators of severe storm environments, i.e., convective available potential energy (CAPE) and vertical wind shear (Shear), and construct a multivariate spatial model to describe the occurrence for different categories of severe storms.
