The Atlantic hurricane of May 1951 had several interesting characteristics. Chief among these were the high latitude and early season of its origin, the type of air mass in which it formed, its formation in a cold core low that extended high than the 200-mb level, and the loop in its path. There was not available enough observational data within and near the storm in order to make a detailed study sufficient to completely explain these phenomena. Some of the meteorological conditions observed shortly proceeding and during the existence of this storm were studied and are described here. Its formation and movement is analyzed and discussed in relation to various theories on the origin and movement of hurricanes. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / "August, 1952." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 15-16).

Limited tornado research has been conducted across the state of California, especially when looking at the low-level thermodynamics of tornado genesis. In comparison much more research has been undertaken across the United States. This study examines low-level thermodynamic parameters associated with California tornadoes between 1960 and 2005. The study also examines similarities within the low-level thermodynamic parameters associated with California tornadoes and tornadoes associated with landfalling hurricanes between 1960 and 2005. The effect of the ocean on the low-levels of the atmosphere seems to be a strong tornado discriminator when analyzing California tornadoes. This discriminator is especially evident when breaking California into four distinct subregions. Use of low-level thermodynamic parameters in a large region such as California is a poor tornadoorecasting tool. This fact was strongly evident in this research when instability, especially in the lowest 3 km of the atmosphere, was used as a forecasting tool for California tornadoes.
