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 …

Glossary of Meteorology (Huschke 1959) begins with the following:" A violently rotating
column of air, pendant from a cumulonimbus cloud, and nearly always observable as …

We study herein the mechanics of long-lived, line-oriented, precipitating cumulus convection
(squall lines) using two-and three-dimensional numerical models of moist convection. These …

We study the flow of a density-stratified fluid past a three-dimensional obstacle, using a
numerical model. Our special concern is the response of the fluid when the Froude number …

Nontornadic and Tornadic Supercells in: Monthly Weather Review Volume 130 Issue 7 (2002) …

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 …

A three-dimensional numerical simulation using a two-way interactive nested grid is to study
tornado-genesis within a supercell. During a 40-minute period, two tornadoes grow and …

It is proposed that certain long-lived mesoscale convective systems maintain themselves
through an interaction between quasi-balanced vertical motions and the diabatic effects of …
