Precipitation falls mostly during convective storms.
In addition to tornadoes, he was interested in all aspects of convective storms with particular research focus on lightning.
The Meteorology department first began its study of convective storms with the use of a 3 cm wavelength radar in the early 1950s.
A mesocyclone is a vortex of air within a convective storm.
Area of convective storms stalled over the Sussex and Kent.
The dry line is also important for severe convective storms in other regions of the world, such as northern India.
The presence of strong speed shear near the surface and through a deep layer indicated a high potential for wind damage from convective storms.
A mesocyclone is a vortex of air, about 2 to 10 km in diameter (the mesoscale of meteorology), inside a convective storm.
Most populated areas of the earth are now well covered by weather satellites, which aid in the nowcasting of severe convective and tornadic storms.
Probabilities above 50% captured a good share of the convective storms determined by radar.
