Abstract: AbstractThis study analyzes the dependence of the intensity of simulated midlatitude squall lines (SLs) at maturity on the strength of the environmental low-tropospheric shear, focusing on the amplitude of the latent heating ...

Abstract: his study examines how environmental thermodynamics constrain the morphology of simulated idealized midlatitude squall lines (SLs). The thermodynamic soundings used for simulating various SLs are specified primarily by ...

Abstract: AbstractThe environmental factors that drive the dissipation of linear severe-wind-producing mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are investigated. Layer-lifting indices are emphasized, which measure convective instability ...
