Abstract: The effects of vertical wind shear and buoyancy on convective storm structure and evolution are investigated with the use of a three-dimensional numerical cloud model. By varying the magnitude of buoyant energy and ...

Abstract: The Diurnal Experiment, which took place in March 1974, offers a unique data set for use in studying vertical velocities in the equatorial stratosphere and mesosphere. Application of the standard thermodynamic vertical ...

Abstract: A large-domain explicit convection simulation is used to investigate the life cycle of nocturnal convection for a one-week period of successive zonally propagating heavy precipitation episodes occurring over the central ...

Abstract: On the afternoon of 3 June 1981 a severe thunderstorm spawned two tornadoes which moved across a portion of metropolitan Denver. The tornadoes were classified as strong F2 intensity, and caused damage totaling over $1 5 ...
