Abstract Knowledge of severe local storms has been increasing rapidly in recent years as a
result of both observational studies and numerical modeling experiments. This paper …

In general, convection refers to the transport of some property by fluid movement, most often
with reference to heat transport. As such, it is one of the three main processes by which heat …

Convective storms exist under a wide variety of conditions and evolve in an equally wide
variety of ways. As the understanding of convective phenomena has increased, so has …

It is proposed that certain long-lived mesoscale convective systems maintain themselves
