1900: |
Running ClimoFar:
Watching scattered cells initiating over SMO. |
2100: |
The previous 2 h,
scattered echoes of reasonable intensity (60 dBZ, tops 15-16 km) were
observed developing over the SMO (~ 80-100 km range) and propagating
westward. At 2100, new development was observed at 40 km due east of S-Pol,
in the vicinity of the N/S oriented shear line. New development appeared
to run in a short (~15-20 km) N/S oriented line with very slow westward
motion. |
2130: |
Begin Microphysical
Scanning, Running MicroNear135:
New cell growth at 40 km E - in vicinity of a N/S oriented shear line.
Cell initiation/growth mechanism may be related to shear line. Also,
upper level trough was over the area at the time, which also may have
contributed to development. |
2200: |
New group of cells
initiating at 40 km east - previous cells have advected to the west and
are dissipating.
As previous cells
weakened, new cells once again developed in the vicinity of the
shear-line. |
|
2230: |
Cells appeared to be
dissipating. |
2245: |
Running MicroFar135:
Changed in order to improve the vertical resolution. Cells at 30 km east
are not being topped, but they are mostly anvil at upper levels so
trade-off seems worth it. |
2300: |
End Microphysical
Scanning: Went back to
ClimoFar because most cell activity has dissipated. |
