Abstract: Hodographs are valuable sources of pattern recognition in severe convective storm forecasting. Certain shapes are known to discriminate between single cell, multicell, and supercell storm organization. Various derived ...

Abstract: The occurrence and properties of hail smaller than severe thresholds (diameter < 25 mm) are poorly understood. Prior climatological hail studies have predominantly focused on large or severe hail (diameter at least 25 mm ...

Abstract: Sufficient low-level storm-relative flow is a necessary ingredient for sustained supercell thunderstorms and is connected to supercell updraft width. Assuming a supercell exists, the role of low-level storm-relative flow ...
