Presentation Transcript

  1. Roll or Arcus Cloud

  2. Squall Lines

  3. Supercell Thunderstorms

  4. Bow Echos

  5. High Resolution Numerical Prediction of Convection

  6. Explicit Convective Prediction • Requires high resolution (4km or less grid spacing) • Requires high-resolution analysis of current situation, using radar, surface observations and all other assets. • NCAR (WRF model) and CAPS (Oklahoma, ARPS model) are two leading efforts.
