Impact of a Diagnostic Pressure Equation Constraint on Tornadic Supercell Thunderstorm Forecasts Initialized Using 3DVAR Radar Data Assimilation
Figure 8
The time series of maximum vertical vorticity below two kilometers from 2200 UTC to 2300 UTC 8 May 2003 every one minute. The horizontal axis shows the time in UTC; the vertical axis shows the vertical vorticity values in units of s−1. The black line is for experiment NoDP2, the red line for experiment DP2, the blue line for DP2m5, and the green line for DP2d5.
