	SuperStorm '93: 'storm of the century'
		One of the most intense nor'eaters to ever strike the Eastern United States did so in the second week of March, 1993.
		Record low pressures, wind speeds, low temperatures and snowfall amounts were more than enough for this storm to gain the status of "Storm of the Century" even during its existence.
		The navigation menu (left) for this module is called "superstorm '93 " and the menu items are arranged in a recommended sequence, beginning with this introduction.

	weather.com - Storms of the Century: #3 - 1993 Superstorm: Part 1
		In early March 1993, forecasters around the country looked at their weather maps in disbelief as thoughts of an early spring suddenly reverted to the worst winter had to offer.
		From blizzards to tornadoes, storm surge and treacherous winds, the March 1993 Superstorm delivered it all, with incredible fury.
		It was late in the evening on Friday, March 12, 1993, when this storm – one of the largest and most intense storms on record – began to grip the eastern third of the United States.

	Superstorms
		Prior to 2005, 1993 was the most destructive year on record with the greatest number of massive storms striking mother earth in the Northern Atlantic Ocean region.
		Looking at the six ocean basins of the world -- the south Atlantic, the northeast and northwest Pacific, the south Pacific, and the North and South Indian oceans -- it becomes clear that all oceans show disturbing effects of storms simultaneously due to warming currents and surface wind conditions.
		The possibility that major storms could appear simultaneously in all these regions, without being caused by a global change taking place, such as the increase of temperature, is 1 in 1000.

	Superstorm of 1993
		In March of 1993, a dramatic change was about to occur that would impact the lives of many from Nova Scotia to Cuba.
		Radar and satellite imagery kept meteorologists ahead of the storm by constantly monitoring the Superstorm’s progress.
		This website is devoted to explaining the history and functions of radars and satellites using a substantial storm during the 20th Century, the Superstorm of 1993, as an example.

	Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT) Data Assimilation
		The high temporal resolution of the lightning data (which were correlated with instantaneous estimates of rainrate to adjust model latent heating) was critically important for the model to correctly forecast the large scale development of the extratropical cyclone, including key parameters such as precipitation and minimum pressure.
		Physical approaches include use of lightning as a deterministic trigger for the cloud parameterization scheme, and use of lightning to quantitatively nudge model fields, including dynamical (updraft/downdraft profile and intensity), thermodynamical (latent heating), microphysical (precipitation efficiency) and/or environmental (boundary layer heat and moisture) properties.

	WeatherMatrix: Remembering the Blizzard of '93 / March Superstorm / Storm of the Century
		WeatherMatrix is a worldwide organization of over 10,000 amateur and professional weather enthusiasts -- meteorologists, storm chasers and spotters, and weather observers from all parts of the globe.
		Today and tomorrow are the anniversary of the "Storm of the Century", also known as the Blizzard of 1993 or SuperStorm.
		A new storm-rating scheme (copy) marks it at the highest rating, saying it was the worst storm to hit the East Coast in a century.

		The March 1993 superstorm cyclogenesis: Incipient phase synoptic- and convective-scale flow interaction and model performance
		The incipient stages of the 12-14 March 1993 ``superstorm'' (SS93) cyclogenesis over the Gulf of Mexico are examined.
		Noteworthy aspects of SS93 include 1) it is the deepest extratropical cyclone ever observed over the Gulf of Mexico during the 1957-96 period, and 2) existing operational prediction models performed poorly in simulating the incipient cyclogenesis over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.

		Bill's love of weather began during the Superstorm of 1993.
		In particularly, the Blizzard of 1993, dumped an impressive nine inches of the white stuff on this southeastern Alabama city.
		He became fascinated with the weather at a young age, during the 1993 blizzard, which sparked his enthusiasm for meteorology.

	Facts About Derechos Which Are Very Damaging Windstorms
		The second type of derecho is called a "progressive" derecho and it is associated with a relatively short line of thunderstorms (typically from 40 miles to 250 miles in length) which may at times take the shape of a single bow echo, particularly in the early stages of development.
		The tornadoes may occur with isolated supercells (rotating thunderstorms) ahead of the derecho producing squall line, or they may be associated with the squall line itself.
		An example of a serial derecho, with both extremely damaging straight-line winds and significant tornadoes associated with supercells embedded within the derecho producing squall line, occurred in Florida during the "superstorm" of March 12-13, 1993.
