Radar observations of the early evolution of bow echoes

Klimowski et al examine the evolution of 273 bow echoes that occurred over the US from 1996 to 2002 especially with regard to the radar reflectivity characteristics during the prebowing stage. The observed bow-echo evolutions demonstrated considerable regional variability, with squall line-to-bow-ec...

Zusammenfassung:Klimowski et al examine the evolution of 273 bow echoes that occurred over the US from 1996 to 2002 especially with regard to the radar reflectivity characteristics during the prebowing stage. The observed bow-echo evolutions demonstrated considerable regional variability, with squall line-to-bow-echo transitions most frequent over the eastern US.
