RESEARCH CONCERNING ANALYSIS OF SEVERE THUNDER-STORMS

Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

reflectivity values measured in these storms are first apparent approximately 10 minutes before the hail reaches the ground.A detailed case analysis of the cell structure and reflectivity gradient within a severe thunderstorm indicated that vertical transfer of momentum existed within the storm and that the environmental wind velocity and upper echo velocity may be related to the surface outflow velocity.
