The Front Range blizzard of 1990. Part II: Melting effects in a convective band

In Part I it was concluded that this front was actually a thunderstorm gust front caused by diabatic cooling. Since the air was saturated shortly after the onset of the storm, evaporative cooling was not significant. (1969) compared the observed V AD radar analysis of a melting situation with a theo...

Zusammenfassung:In Part I it was concluded that this front was actually a thunderstorm gust front caused by diabatic cooling. Since the air was saturated shortly after the onset of the storm, evaporative cooling was not significant. (1969) compared the observed V AD radar analysis of a melting situation with a theoretical analysis of the cooling, pressure, and wind effects of melting snow. [...]there is more time for the precipitation process to work.
