Vertical wind shear associated with left-moving supercells

Vertical wind shear parameters are presented for 60 left-moving supercells across the United States, 53 of which produced severe hail (>-1.9 cm). Hodographs corresponding to environments of left-moving supercells have a tendency to be more linear than those of their right-moving supercell counter...

Zusammenfassung:	Vertical wind shear parameters are presented for 60 left-moving supercells across the United States, 53 of which produced severe hail (>-1.9 cm). Hodographs corresponding to environments of left-moving supercells have a tendency to be more linear than those of their right-moving supercell counterparts. When curvature is present in the hodographs of the left-moving supercells, it is typically confined to the lowest 0.5-1 km.
