Climate modeling does not yet enable the detailed analysis of individual storms, but it does analyze the trends of the factors known to cause severe thunderstorms, including warm, moist atmospheric conditions near the ground, cold, dry air higher in the atmosphere, and winds traveling upwards from the ground to higher regions of the atmosphere. Generally, climate modeling uses information from grids representing specific regions of the country. As the technology and sophistication of the computer programs continues to improve, scientists expect to be able to study smaller and smaller areas with even greater specificity and accuracy. Subsequent studies are already being planned to do so by increasing the resolution of the imaging as well as by analyzing individual storms. Unfortunately, that means certain areas like New York and Atlanta will be affected by global warming much more than the rest of the country as a whole.


Even worse, the research demonstrated that increases in severe weather incidents will not be spread throughout the four seasons; rather, they will be concentrated during the seasons where severe storm conditions are already most concentrated every year.

While the implications of the findings are troubling, they also enable emergency management planning and funding efforts designed to meet the predicted climactic changes most appropriately. Ultimately, scientists hope that increased public attention to the global warming issue will also inspire changes in the way our use of hydrocarbon and fossil fuels contributes to global warming......
