Abstract

On 30 June 1982, the Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) Project documented the evolution of a Colorado convective storm containing downburst-type winds and strong vortices 1-2 km in diameter. Data from the three NCAR radars are used in both single- and dual-Doppler analyses to trace the evolution of the storm from its formation to its demise. The analyses show that a series of small circulations formed along a persistent cyclonic shear boundary; at times as many as three misocyclones were present.
