Shows the EnvironmentalPhenomenon class and the specialized types of phenomenon classes. Environmental phenomena, like hurricanes, tornados, grass fires, floods, or geo-magnetic space storms are described by the Phenomenon class and its children, which are subclassed using the same regional groupings used for analogs (atmospheric, geospheric, hydrospheric, and space). Each EnvironmentalPhenomenon child class has attributes which reflect common information used to describe the nature or severity of that particular sort of phenomenon. <br/>The location of phenomena are often described by both a center and extent, and this is supported by means of the EnvironmentalLocationKind class. <br/>Major events, like hurricane Katrina or the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, can be described through time using multiple instances of a Phenomenon child class associated with an observation related to a 'named' event.<br/>
