Abstract

Using the data collected during the CaPE project in 1991, the present work examines the initiation of convective storms in relationship to boundary layer convergence line characteristics, static stability and wind profiles. In particular, this work emphasizes the role of the vertical wind shear and the strength of the convergence line in initiating and sustaining convection.
