Numerical Simulations of a Midlatitude Squall Line
Abstract
dc:descriptionA two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic cloud model was used in attempts to numerically replicate the observed structure of a typical midlatitude squall line. The basic simulations described in this report were made using common temperature and moisture profiles in the vertical, and emphasis was placed on varying the microphysics and the vertical wind shear. The temperature and moisture profiles chosen were adapted from the environmental conditions which were present prior to the development of the 22 May 1976 Oklahoma squall line and were typical of environments which supported severe springtime convection in that area.
