CASE 10 - Quasi-linear MCS over SMO, developed MCV
7/21/04
Microphysical scans 0100 - 0415 Z, 3h 15m
(System lifetime: 2200 - 0330 Z)

 

IOP Status:

IOP #3 in effect Forecast Discussion

This IOP (0Z 7/20-0Z 7/23) captured the breakdown of a monsoon ridge over the domain, along with several wind surges over the GOC including a major Gulf Surge (GS#2). The outflow from this MCS/MCV event was believed to initiate a weak gulf surge in the northern GOC.

Most prominent convective activity during this time over the SMO, preceding IV#6.

Strong 250mb jet extending from La Paz, Mexico to Texas.
