The Oklahoma Squall Line of 19 May 1977. Part I: A Multiple Doppler Analysis of Convective and Stratiform Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 19 May 1977, a severe squall line formed and moved through the National Severe Storms Laboratory observing network in Oklahoma, producing heavy rain, hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. The squall line is examined at two ...
The Oklahoma Squall Line of 19 May 1977. Part II: Mechanisms for Maintenance of the Region of Strong Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mechanisms for maintenance of the strong convection along the leading edge of a broad squall line that occurred in Oklahoma on 19 May 1977 are investigated. The findings are based upon analysis of data from a surveillance ...
Kinematic, Thermodynamic, and Visual Structure of Low-Reflectivity Microbursts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 9 July 1987, a series of low-reflectivity microbursts were studied over Colorado using dual-Doppler analyses, cloud photogrammetry, and in situ measurements collected by aircraft. These types of wind-shear events are ...
Observations of a Storm Containing Misocyclones, Downbursts, and Horizontal Vortex Circulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 30 June 1982, a multicellular storm in Colorado produced four downbursts, three misocyclones, a miso-anticyclone, and horizontal vortex circulations within a relatively small area of the storm. Weather events associated ...
