HGX radar velocities - and classic views of supercells/TVS's

#1 Postby Stormsfury » Mon Nov 17, 2003 9:23 pm

HGX radial velocity indicated two storms capable of being MESO's ... notice the strong coupling (where I drew the arrows with the bright green/dark red couplets are very close together ... that indicates strong winds flowing towards and away

Now ... here's two classic view .. one from the "North Carolina Tornadocane" and of the TVS in the F5 Jarrell, TX, tornado ...

Dude, can I hug you??? Great explanation! If I was outside and looking at the clouds, it would be one thing and understand how it looks and what's happening. But I'd never seen it on a radar like that.

Thank you so much for taking time to do that. :) :) :)

I've heard about radial velocity for several years. It take some time getting used to using it. This is a great thread for that sort of learning. :)

That is some Great looking Gate to Gate Shear in your examples :D Pretty textbook. For a MESO we would do a Storm Tilt sequence on the Radar and see how much mid level overhang there is as well as look for 3D Corrolated shear/MESOs using the Base Velocity and SRMs.

Great discussion!
