Space-Time Extremes of Severe U.S. Thunderstorm Environments
美国强雷暴环境的时空极值
Severe thunderstorms cause substantial economic and human losses in the United States. Simultaneoushigh values of convective available potential energy (CAPE) and storm relative helicity (SRH) are favorable tosevere weather, and both they and the composite variable PROD = √CAPE × SRH can be used as indicatorsof severe thunderstorm activity. Their extremal spatial dependence exhibits temporal non-stationarity dueto seasonality and large-scale atmospheric signals such as El…
