Sentences with phrase «updraft speeds»

However, combined occurrences of the strongest wind shears and updraft speeds will increase, suggesting more of the most significant severe thunderstorms.

Although small - scale convective updraft speeds can not be directly simulated by GCMs, models can diagnose them from large - scale atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles.

In a doubled CO2 climate in one such model, updraft speeds over land are indeed slightly faster [5].

In the simulation, this caused a plume of warm, moist air to rise from the lake at a top speed of 194 kilometres per hour, similar to the updraft speed in thunderstorms on Earth.

Not exact matches

Activity within the eyewall is closely connected to the hurricane's overall intensity, with the vertical updraft fed by an inward - spiraling, ocean - hugging wind whose average speed is the highest across the whole storm.

A: Wind shear, changes in wind speed and direction with elevation, gives a thunderstorm its spin in the form of rotating updrafts called mesocyclones.
