A Study of Updraft-Downdraft Interaction Based on Perturbation Pressure and Single-Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Perturbation pressure typical of the lowest 5 km of supercell severe thunderstorms was calculated from a composite of single Doppler radar and conventional data from various storms. Most of the data was taken from the 24 ...
Some Effects of the Shearing and Veering Environmental Wind on the Internal Dynamics and Structure of a Rotating Supercell Thunderstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional severe thunderstorm model is employed to study some effects that shearing and veering environmental winds exert on the structure and internal dynamics of a typical supercell rotating storm during its ...
Some Numerical Aspects of a Steady Won-Entraining Severe Storm with Sloping Updrafts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A non-entraining, axially symmetric, steady-state sloping model of a severe storm is developed. This model allows the systematic variation of input parameters for evaluating the relative sensitivity of the various physical ...
Pressure and Temperature Perturbations within a Squall-Line Thunderstorm Derived from SESAME Dual-Doppler Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some dynamic and thermodynamic properties of a convective cell within a squall line that occurred on 6 June 1979 were studied based on dual-Doppler observations. The domain under investigation had a horizontal dimension ...
Application and Applicability of Hydrodynamic Instability Theories to the Formation of Severe Thunderstorms: Free Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The feasibility of applying various hydrodyanmic instability theories, previously found applicable in the development of tropical cyclone vortices, to the formative stage of a severe thunderstorm when a meso-low-pressure ...
