Boundary layer convergence lines (boundaries), an important trigger of convective storms, can be produced by land surface contrasts. This study explored a five-year summertime radar climatology of boundaries and their associated convection in response to vegetation contrast around the bend of the ...
The initiation, organization, and longevity of thunderstorms associated with boundary layer convergence lines in the Cape Canaveral, Florida, vicinity are examined using data from the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification (CaPE) experiment. The project was conducted during July and August 1991 under...
This represents only the bare minimum of interdisciplinary mix. Later we discovered that the colour theory could only be completely understood when compared to Grosseteste's related treatise On the Rainbow. To fully understand, the treatise required a detailed knowledge of meteorology (so an ...

While sinking, it can reach the surface of the earth and, due to the strong convergence created, a gust front is formed. The front, as a result of ascending southwesterlies, constitutes an area of vigorous convective activity which triggers off a self-regenerative mechanism of condensation, ...
The mechanism of this convergence has been the subject of much discussion. Certainly synoptic-scale convergence can be a factor, and the large-scale slope of the terrain allows westerly shear to produce convergence when the sheared flow is mixed in the CBL. On much smaller scales, the dry...
Few past studies of the offshore convective lines have shown that the low-level convergence produced as the offshore flow associated with the land breeze encountered the large-scale environmental onshore flow was a crucial forcing contributing to their formation. However, results from this study ...
