Airflow in convective storms
Abstract
Some known properties of travelling storms are used to infer a general model of the airflow within them, in which updraught and precipitation‑maintained downdraught are fed persistently from opposite sides. Detailed radar and ground observations of a particular hailstorm are used to refine the model.
