Abstract

The scabular convection and moist absolute instability in hurricane isabel were investigated. The study was carried out by using a multi-nested and multi-model configuration to produce a high-resolution simulation of isabel. It was found that the storm was asymmetric with several swaths of reflectivity greater than 40 dBZ along the eyewall and spiral bands. It was also observed that the sounding shows a deep saturated environment with approximately 1500 J of convective available potential energy.
