Info

Thompson/Edwards Findings • Used RUC-2 analysis proximity soundings, but results consistent with Craven/Brooks findings •0-6 km shear is a good discriminator between supercells and nonsupercells •0-1 km SRH and MLLCL showed best discrimination between supercells producing significant tornadoes and other event classes • Application of parameter assessment depends on convective mode (discrete cells versus lines/multicell complexes).
