Viewing the relative importance of some surface parameters associated with pre-monsoon thunderstorms through Ampliative Reasoning

Abstract

Instead of going into the physical detail of the pre-monsoon thunderstorms of north eastern India, a mathematical study has been done to discern the relative importance of some prominent surface parameters namely, surface temperature, relative humidity and air-pressure, in creating severe thunderstorms over the aforesaid region. The dataset associated with this weather phenomenon has been explored through the technique of Ampliative Reasoning. It has been finally found that surface temperature has the most important role in creating pre-monsoon thunderstorms. Relative humidity is less important and air-pressure is the least important.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/60292/1/Probabilistic03.PD
