Number of obs vs Radius.

  • 1. Number of sondes per 100km bin used in CAPE calc for diff shear dirs+total(UP,DN,ALL).
  • 2. Number of sondes per 100km bin used in CAPE calc for diff shear mag+dirs(UPHI,UPLO,DNHI,DNLO).

    CAPE vs Parcel Type.

  • 1. Avg Up/Downshear CAPE for parcel(reversible) for GIV soundings averaged in 100km bins from storm center in all shears.
  • 2. Avg Up/Downshear CAPE for parcel w/Fusion for GIV soundings averaged in 100km bins from storm center in all shears.

    Radius Height Contour Plots.

    Shading=2 Warm colors beginning w/yellow=pos buoyancy.

    Down.vs.Up shear.

  • 1.Animation of 4 panel plots of UP/DNSHR Buoyancy(cm/s-2) for various parcels w/entrainment rates of 0,5,10 and 15e-5 m-1.

    Azimuthally averaged Calcs for all shears.

  • 1. 4 panel plot of Buoyancy (cm/s-2) for reversible and various entrainment rates.
  • 2. 4 panel plot of Buoyancy (cm/s-2) for fusion only and fusion w/various entrainment rates.

    Inner vs Outer averages.

  • 1.Animation of 3 panel plots of (cm/s-2) averaged 75-400km and 400-800km for various parcels w/entrainment rates of 0,5,10 and 15e-5 m-1.
  • 2. 2 panel plot of DSHR/USHR Buoyancy (cm/s-2) difference averaged 75-400km and 400-800km for various parcels w/entrainment rates of 0,5,10 and 15e-5 m-1.
