A Center for the Description of Environmental Conditions. Weather Phenomena

Abstract

The Oklahoma State University Themis Weather Phenomena Project sampled severe storm sferics in the vicinity of central Oklahoma, at Black Hills, South Dakota; Greely, Colorado and Las Cruces - White Sands, New Mexico. The doctoral dissertations have been written using Themis sferic data. The first paper derived a theory of computer learning in which the teacher is considered to be both perfect and another, more general case, where the teacher is imperfect. The second paper derived a theoretical computer model for describing various lightning strokes. The third paper describes the spectral power density content of the sampled sferics. Sferic stroke rate is shown to strongly correlate with the rate of growth of a convective cell.
