Early warnings, which includes effective monitoring, detection and prediction of topical cyclones is crucial. Given the several constraints encountered, advanced technologies are fully employed for qu...
<p>Cloudbursts are usually made up of saturated clouds accompanied by the upward movement of warm currents of air. This causes large accumulations of heavy raindrops in the cloud that are bolstered by the updraft until they coalesce together and become too heavy for the cloud to hold.</p>
<p>Ozone is present in a very small amount in the Earth’s atmosphere, averaging about three molecules of ozone for every ten million molecules of air. It is measured in Dobson Unit (Db) which is equivalent to a 0.01 mm thickness of pure ozone if brought down to ground level pressure (1 atm) and temperature (0°C). The global average of ozone thickness is about 300Db.</p>
