Zusammenfassung: | [...]AGN also conclude that a dynamic pressure deficit associated with rotation within the 5 June wall cloud contributed significantly to cloud lowering. [...]it was found that both wall clouds comprised air parcels from not just the forward-flank precipitation region, but also from the environmental inflow, and that some other parcel trajectories into the 5 June wall cloud originated from the rear-flank downdraft (RFD). The inflow trajectories in the figure panel pass through the edge of the 2200 UTC reflectivity field. [...]it seems possible that these parcels, like the forward-flank parcels, might also have been cooled and humidified by evaporation. |
