5. Summary
If the horizontal scale is larger,
-
The size of mesocyclone will grow together. Therefore, the rising air current of mesocyclone becomes stronger.
This stronger rising air will create a greater downward current than when the horizontal scale is smaller. This downdraft will serve as a minicold front.
The analysis that the starting point of the downward current is high means that the size of the mini cold front is large.
This larger mini-cold front helps maintain a stronger rising air current.
-
The supercell’s updraft gets stronger and this makes the value of highest altitude of the overshooting top get higher.
-
The slower and larger the clouds are formed.
If the vertical scale is larger,
-
Number of overshooting tops is larger.
