Extreme Energy Event: Violent Rain
“Climate change is increasing the amount of energy violent rain events contain, amplifying how much damage they can inflict.” The physics of wind and rain are important to understand: their destructive force increases nonlinearly with velocity and is further amplified by density and mass. Even relatively small increases in wind speed or rainfall intensity can […]
