Base scan doppler radar image |
Composite Doppler scan. Ignore the rings around the radar. The higher reflectivity values in the squall line reflect that there is a lot of water suspended aloft |
Wind velocity, shown in knots. 60knots is about 70mph. |
Diamond = mesovortex signature (rotating thunderstorm). These along a squall line edge can produce additional damage. Purple triangle = tornado vortex signature. |
Cloud water content |
Maximum cloud height. Yes, the one in the head of the squall line is at 57,000ft |
