Abstract

Radar data from the Florida Areas Cumulus Experiment were used to study the ensemble characteristics of echo populations and also the structure of echo systems and their phenomenological growth and development processes. The diurnal development of the convective field was explored as well. The overall distribution of echoes turned out to be of the truncated lognormal type, which is indicative of growth processes that favor the larger, more vigorous clouds. -from Authors
