SCAN
OVERVIEW:
|
2130
Z |
Begin Microphysical Scanning,
Switching to MicroNear90: Cells
continuing westward progression, starting micro 90 to capture microphysics
(need to do near, as we're not quite topping at 14 degrees). Centering swath
on 90 deg, - seems that NE-SE sector is the only show in town at the moment. |
|
2145
Z |
Switching to MicroNear135: To better cover activity in SE quadrant. Several
cells now w/tops near 17 km - However, like yesterday cores tend to be quite
narrow (< 10 km). Time loop now suggests that feature that moved on shore
(~20 UTC) is colliding w/outflow to produce new cell growth ~ 40 km NE of
radar. |
|
2210
Z |
Echoes
are dissipating in our vicinity but new growth ~ 100 km distant (NE sector). Will
continue with micro sectors for time being to see what happens. |

End Microphysical Scanning, Switching
