 Thunder storm- storm that produce lightning and thunder  2 major components precipitation and wind speed/ gusts  Important for safety matters and agriculture How has storm intensity changed throughout the years in North Carolina?

 $485 billion in damage from storms in General. (National Weather Service, 2011)  Storm intensity is important to know for our economy.  Hypothesis: If storm intensity changed through out the year then the intensity would increase

 Stanly County Airport( KVUJ)  Upper Piedmont Research stn (Reidsville, REID)  Upper Mountain ResearchStn (Laurel springs, LAUR)  Bearwallow Mountain (Hendersonville, BEAR)  Central Crops Research station(Clayton, CLAY)  Pamlico Aquaculture Field Lab (Aurora, AURO)  Border Belt Tobacco Res stn ( Whiteville, WHIT)

 Ten years of data  maximum wind speed  maximum wind Gust  total precipitation  maximum precipitation

 Collected data from the different stations  Convert hourly data to daily data  Maximum wind speed,  Maximum wind gust,  maximum precipitation,  Total precipitation.  Graphed each data sets in time  Calculated coefficient of variance( R 2 ), trend

Trend line decreases

Trend line slightly increases

Trend Line 0 slope

Trend line slightly decreases

Trend line has 0 slope

 Maximum Windspeed= Trend line Decrease  Maximum Precipitation= Trendline Increase  Total precipitation= Trendline decrease  Maximum Wind gust= Trend line increase  Neither increasing or decreasing storm intensity.  Results don’t support hypothesis.

 Data = variable  How Much money was involved?  Look at surface analysis  Reports of tornadoes, wind, and Hail  Looking at a much longer period

 Thank you to the NC State Climate office  Thank you Adrienne and the other mentors for mentoring me.
