A comparison of the microphysical and kinematic characteristics of mid-latitude and tropical convective updrafts and downdrafts

Airborne measurements of updraft speeds, liquid water content and other microphysical parameters were measured in convective storms during two mid-latitude summers in North Dakota, USA, and in two tropical locations (the continental Amazon region in tropical South America and Kwajalein in the tropic...
