Estimating the Maximum Vertical Velocity at the Leading Edge of a Density Current

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;2020:;volume( 77 ):;issue: 011:;page 3683

Author(s): Reif, Dylan W.;Bluestein, Howard B.;Weckwerth, Tammy M.;Wienhoff, Zachary B.;Chasteen, Manda B.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The maximum upward vertical velocity at the leading edge of a density current is commonly <10 m s−1. Studies of the vertical velocity, however, are relatively few, in part owing to the dearth of high-spatiotemporal-resolution ...
