SURVEY OF METEOROLOGY II LAB #9
Severe Weather
Lab Objectives:
To better understand the environments within which severe storms form and their structure as seen by Doppler radar.
ASSIGNMENT:
#1 and #3 on page 373 of your lab book.

What kind of severe storm is shown in the image? What type of Doppler velocity signatures do you observe? The radar is located to the WSW of the storm.
Refer to the image to the right -> | image |
What kind of severe storm do you observe in this image? What kind of Doppler velocity signature do you observe in the image?

What kind of storm is visible in the lower left panel?
Given that the radar was located well south of the storm, what kind of Doppler velocity signature do you see in the lower right panel?
The upper two panels are data collected at the top of the storm, reflectivity in the upper left panel and Doppler velocities in the upper right. What kind of Doppler velocity signature do you see at the top of the storm? What is creating it?
Refer to the images to the right -> | image1 | image2 |
What kind of storm do you see in the image? What kind of Doppler velocity signature do you observe in the velocity image?
Refer to the image to the right -> | image |
Speculate as to what you think the "ring" of higher reflectivity is surrounding the storm.
