Multiple-Doppler Radar Observations of the Evolution of Vorticity Extrema in a Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Overdetermined, dual-Doppler wind syntheses are used to document the evolution, structure, and dynamics of vertical vorticity extrema observed in a convective boundary layer during the 12 June 2002 International H2O Project ...
Observations of Convection Initiation “Failure” from the 12 June 2002 IHOP Deployment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the development of cumulus convection, which reached depths of several kilometers but failed to develop into sustained, precipitating, cumulonimbus clouds?an event the authors term ?convection initiation ...
Characteristics of Vertical Wind Profiles near Supercells Obtained from the Rapid Update Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over 400 vertical wind profiles in close proximity to nontornadic and tornadic supercell thunderstorms are examined. The profiles were obtained from the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model/analysis system. Ground-relative wind ...
