dailytech.comNASA scientists have developed a new model that is among the first to simulate the strength of updrafts in storms. This model was applied to a global warming scenario to give a possible peek at what future weather might look like
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies is a leading research center, located in New York, which studies Earth's past, present and future climates.
The Institute has recently announced a new study which discusses what future storms might look like in a global warming scenario.
NASA's scientists at the Institute developed a new climate model for the study. The model is among the first to successfully simulate the strength of updrafts in storms. This allows the model to give a more complete picture of the strength of storms that are occurring around the world, and those that may someday occur.
The model is the first to successfully simulate the observed difference between land and sea storms. It also is the first model to simulate how the strength of storms may change in a warming environment.
The model is run over regions several hundred miles wide. It does not directly simulate thunderstorms and lightning, but instead identifies conditions conducive to producing storms of varying strengths.
