Title: Updraft and Downdraft Cores in TOGA COARE: Why So Many Buoyant Downdraft Cores?
Authors: Igau, Richard C., LeMone, Margaret A.
Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences. 7/1/99, Vol. 56 Issue 13, p2232. 14p. 4 Charts, 12 Graphs.
Subjects: Atmospheric temperature standard deviations, Microbursts, Ocean-atmosphere interaction
Abstract: Presents a study which analyzed the source of the virtual temperature deviation from the environment for downdraft cores. Observations based on the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE); Statistical analysis; Examination of the properties of updraft and downdraft cores.
