Abstract: Dual-Doppler wind syntheses from mobile radar observations obtained during the International H2O Project document some of the spatial variability of vertical wind profiles in convective boundary layers. Much of the variability ...

Abstract: Vertical wind shear is commonly classified as ?directional? or ?speed? shear. In this note, these classifications are reviewed and their relevance discussed with respect to the dynamics of convective storms. In the absence ...

Abstract: dealized, dry simulations are used to investigate the roles of environmental vertical wind shear and baroclinic vorticity generation in the development of near-surface vortices in supercell-like ?pseudostorms.? A cyclonically ...

Abstract: n idealized numerical simulations of supercell-like ?pseudostorms? generated by a heat source and sink in a vertically sheared environment, a tornado-like vortex develops if air possessing large circulation about a vertical ...

Abstract: his paper investigates the origins of the (cyclonic) vertical vorticity within vortex sheets that develop within a numerically simulated supercell in a nonrotating, horizontally homogeneous environment with a free-slip ...

Abstract: No Abstract available.

Abstract: his paper uses idealized numerical simulations to investigate the dynamical influences of stable boundary layers on the morphology of supercell thunderstorms, especially the development of low-level rotation. Simulations ...

Abstract: Using an axisymmetric model of tornado structure tightly constrained by high-resolution wind field measurements collected by Doppler on Wheels (DOW) mobile radars, the potential impacts of intense tornadoes crossing densely ...

Abstract: During the International H2O Project, mobile radars collected high-resolution data of several 0.5?2-km-wide vertically oriented vortices (or misocyclones) along at least five mesoscale airmass boundaries. This study analyzes ...
