| description abstract | During the month of July 1960, a mesometeorological field network was established in an area of 30 by 40 mi centered around San Francisco Mountain, Arizona. Network instrumentation included 33 micro-barographs, 10 hygrothermographs, 10 Beckman-Whitley wind recorders, about 165 nonrecording rain gauges, and 165 hail gauges. Daily precipitation amounts were carefully studied in order to relate them with the characteristics of moisture inflow into the network area. An analysis of the 22 July case over the network area revealed that a very small low-pressure area formed over the heated side of the mountain slope, providing a field of convergence leading to the morning cumulus convection. AS time went on, this low dissipated and cumulonimbus convection occurred. The mesometeorological network was found to be most suitable for the investigation of cumulus to cumulonimbus convection over the San Francisco Mountain area. | |
