Creation Of A Spatial Decision Support System As A Risk Assessment Tool Based On Kentucky Tornado Climatology, Christopher Michael Blinn
Creation Of A Spatial Decision Support System As A Risk Assessment Tool Based On Kentucky Tornado Climatology, Christopher Michael Blinn
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Tornadoes are one of Mother Nature’s deadliest phenomena. They affect a large region of the United States. The risk of tornadoes is contingent on dynamic atmospheric conditions that are most likely during spring but which can occur anytime of the year, making the storms challenging to forecast. Using geographical information systems (GIS), a web-based spatial decision support system (SDSS) was created to help understand the spatial dimension of tornado risk assessment. The risk values are calculated using Tornado Days rather than taking a crude density measurement. The SDSS hosts GIS web services that are displayed on an Adobe Flex application. …

Visibility chart created for the College Heights Weather Station. The chart measures 40" x 32" and is a series of concentric circles showing visible items up to 8 miles distant from the weather station. The inner most circles are at 1/4 and 1/8 mile intervals; 1/2 mile intervals through 3 miles and then 1 mile intervals to 8 miles. Features included on the chart are Pearce-Ford Tower, McDonald's restaurant, WBKO TV tower, Bowling Green-Warren County Hospital Water Tower, Bowling Green Water tower, Greenview Hospital, knobs and the Greewood Interchange
