Abstract

The evolution and fine scale structure of the squall line segment and its accompanied mesocyclone were documented using the dual-Doppler radar analyses from the NCAR Electra Doppler radar (ELDORA) data. ELDORA's 300 m along track resolution is able to resolve features with wavelength of 2 km. The Doppler radar data were edited in the NCAR SOLO package and were interpolated using Barnes scheme with grid spacing of 500 m in all three dimensions. The wind fields were deduced using a three dimensional variational Doppler analysis technique to resolve the circulation in the upper half of the storm including the anvil region.
