for the definition of TC rapid intensification in the Atlantic and eastern North Pacific basins (Kaplan et al. 2010). In the literature, convective hot towers (CHT) or convective bursts have long been reported to be related to the formation (e.g. study by Simpson et al. 1998) and ...

We apply the same definition formulas as Iwasaki et al.47to calculate the cold air mass and its flux in isentropic coordinates. The cold air mass amount is calculated as follows: $$DP={p}_{S}-p({\theta }_{T})$$ (2) and theu-component of cold air mass flux is calculated as fol...
The study also highlights a number of lower-end cases that do not develop in commonly-considered locations with respect to synoptic features, forcing one to re-examine the true definition of a dryline in a few instances. The Simultaneous Observations of the Near Dryline Environment (SONDE) ...

Based on Fujita and Wakimoto's (1981) definition of a downburst family, they proposed the following criteria for a derecho event: Progressive derecho typically occurs in cases of short curved convective lines oriented nearly perpendicular to the mean wind direction. These lines usually move at a ...
