Description:
Sugar maple (Acer Saccharum Marsh.) damage resulting from a severe ice storm was modeled and mapped over eastern Ontario using pre- and post-storm Landsat 5 imagery and environmental data. Visual damage estimates in 104 plots and corresponding reflectance and environmental data were divided into multiple, mutually exclusive training and reference datasets for damage classification evaluation. Damage classification accuracy was compared among four methods: multiple regression, linear discriminant analysis, maximum likelihood, and neural networks. Using the best classifier, various stratification methods were assessed for potential inflationary effects on classification accuracy due to spatial proximity between training and reference data. Of the classifiers that were evaluated, neural networks performed best. Neural networks 'learn' training data accurately (94% overall), but classify proximate reference data less accurately (65%), and distant, spatially independent reference data least accurately (55%). Results indicate that, while remotely sensed and environmental data cannot discriminate among many levels of deciduous ice storm damage, they can by considered useful for differentiating areas of low to medium damage from areas of severe damage (69% accuracy). Such classification methods can provide regional damage maps more objectively than point-based visual estimates or aerial sketch mapping and aid in identification of areas of severe damage where management intervention may be advantageous. ...

Excerpt:Maximum snowfall or ice accretion The Mid-December 2007 North American Winter storms was a series of winter storms that affected much of central and eastern North America from December 8 to December 18, 2007. The systems affected areas from Oklahoma to Newfoundland and Labrador with freezing rain, thunderstorms, sleet, snow, damaging winds, and blizzard-like conditions in various areas. The first two storms produced copious amounts of ice across the Midwestern United States and Great Plains from December 8 to December 11, knocking out power to approximately 1.5 million customers from Oklahoma north to Iowa. The second storm moved northeast, producing heavy snow across New York and New England. A third storm was responsible for a major winter storm from Kansas to the Canadian Maritimes, bringing locally record-breaking snowfalls to Ontario, an icestorm across the Appalachians, and thunderstorms and tornadoes to the Southeastern United States. The ice storms were responsible for at least 38 deaths across three states . At least 25 additional deaths were blamed on the December 15-16 Midwest and Eastern snow storm and its aftermath across six US States and three Canadian provinces; 1 additional death was caused by the severe weather outbreak in the Southeast. Much of the affected areas were already hit by a significant winter storm during the weekend of December 1 and December 2. Many areas had received close to three-quarters of an inch of ice from Nebraska to Il...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14660221 ... Read more

Excerpt: Winter storms of 20092010 profiles the major worldwide winter storms, including blizzards, ice storms, snowstorms, and other winter events. A winter storm is an event in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at cold temperatures; such as snow, hail, sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form (i.e. freezing rain). The time scope is between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. Very cold and/or snowy weather was reported across the Northern Hemisphere, with many severe cases being reported in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Poland, Finland, Russia, India, South Korea, China and Japan over the winter of 2009-2010. Even places that do not get more than an inch of snow on a single day, such as Texas, got up to five to ten inches and more overall. As this occurred, unusually heavy rain hit Brazil, southern Bangladesh, Italy, Haiti and Argentina, while major flooding events and landslides hit Brazil, Peru and Uganda. A heat wave and/or unforeseen monsoon weather also hit parts of Australia. Victoria, the scene of h...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24517673 ... Read more

From the supplier: The coverage of the Jan 1999 snowstorm by television stations in St. Louis, MO, are evaluated. For instance, all stations with extended storm coverage were praised. However, Channel 4 provided the best reporting of school closings by putting three schools on at a time which made it quicker for parents to find the information they needed. Channel 30 was also cited for misinforming viewers about the cancellation of TWA flights on Jan 1, 1999.
