Convective Bursts, Downdraft Cooling, and Boundary Layer Recovery in a Sheared Tropical Storm
Tropical Storm Edouard (2002) experienced episodic outbreaks of convection downshear within the storm core in the presence of 11–15 m s of ambient vertical wind shear. These outbreaks lasted 2–6 h and were followed by long periods with no deep convection. Flights fromU.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft within the boundary layer were used to investigate the cause of one such oscillation. Low ...
متن کاملImpacts of individual tree species on carbon dynamics in a moist tropical forest environment.
In the moist tropical forest biome, which cycles carbon (C) rapidly and stores huge amounts of C, the impacts of individual species on C balances are not well known. In one of the earliest replicated experimental sites for investigating growth of native tropical trees, we examined traits of tree species in relation to their effects on forest C balances, mechanisms of influence, and consequences...
متن کاملA Study of the Pre-storm Environment of Tornadic Quasi-linear Convective Systems
Tornadoes are known to evolve from a variety of different parent storm types, including supercells, squall lines, and other convective systems. Trapp et al. (2004; hereafter, TTGB04) classified reported tornadoes in the United States from 1998–2000 by parent storm type: cell, quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), or other. It was found that tornadoes from QLCSs, such as squall lines or bow ech...
متن کامل9 B . 3 Prediction of Convective Initiation and Storm Evolution on 12
1. Introduction During the warm season over the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of the United States, strong convective storms are responsible for a large portion of the annual rainfall. Accurate prediction of quantitative precipitation associated with these warm season systems has been a particularly elusive task (Fritsch and Carbone 2004). The prediction of the exact timing, location and intensit...
متن کاملApplication of the Aventech AIMMS20AQ airborne probe for turbulence measurements during the Convective Storm Initiation Project
The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) took place during the summers of 2004 and 2005, centred on the research radar at Chilbolton, UK. Precursors to convective precipitation were studied, using a comprehensive and broad-based range of fieldwork and modelling. The principal aim of CSIP was the detection of the primary and secondary initiation of convective cells. The Universities Facili...
