Austin Dixon – February 4
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Seminar Simulated WSR-88D Observations of the Streamwise Vorticity Current Austin Dixon Friday, February 4th 3:00 pm Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/iru-ggiv-afj In recent years, the streamwise vorticity current (SVC) has been linked to supercellular tornado genesis. While this fact is interesting scientifically, it is only beneficial to operational predictability if identification […]
