RICHLAND, Washington, Dec. 17 (TNSRes) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Urban landscapes and human-made aerosols--particles suspended in the atmosphere--have the potential to not only make gusts stronger and hail larger; they can also start storms sooner and even pull them toward cities, according to new research exploring the impact of urban development on hazardous weather, led by scientists at the U.S. Dep . . .
