CASE 31 - Mature to decaying stages of a weakly organized system that developed 100km N of S-Pol
8/17/04
Microphysical scans 1400 - 1615 Z, 2h 15m

S-POL SUMMARY:

 

S-POL Log 040817  

Scan Overview:

0600:

Convective activity has been flaring and redeveloping to the N/NW of S-Pol beyond 140 km.

1245:

Switching to ClimoFar: System to the N looks more convective.

1300:

Cell at 300 deg at ~100-120 km intensifying. Core of 45 dBZ extends to 14 km.

1400:

Begin Microphysical Scanning, Switching to MicroFar90: Centered on cell to the W/NW at 100 km range. Cell approaching 55 dBz at 1.98 deg elev angle. Large anvil blowoff.

1445:

Recentered sector at 280 deg. Storm is moving due S, currently E of S-Pol at 70 km. Mid 50’s dBZ and signature of ZDR column.

1521:

Storm is decaying, but there is new intensification just north of the original cell. Still a large cirrus shield. Still in MicroFar90 centered on 280deg.

1536:

System has pretty much died, but for now we will remain in microphysical mode incase things reintensify. Will reevaluate in about 30 minutes.

1615:

End Microphysical Scanning, Switching to ClimoFar: Remnants to the E are dissipating, only anvil left.
