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.
