Abstract

The tilt with height of the leading edge of 7 mesoscale convective lines in GATE is determined by two independent methods. When averaged over time and along the line axis, the tilt is found to be surprisingly shallow, between 20 and 35^o from the horizontal. This is distinct from the slopes of the individual towers, which can be much steeper.-from Authors
