MESOSCALE STUDIES OF INSTABILITY PATTERNS AND WINDS IN THE TROPICS.
Abstract
Atmospheric refractive and temperature conditions associated with moist season tornado, waterspout, and hail systems in South Florida are surveyed using routine radiosonde soundings from Miami Airport. Rain camera data are used to provide cursory information on rainfall rates in easterly wave and air mass showers at the University of Miami. A general description of recent modifications made on radar equipment at the University is presented. Brief comments are made about two remarkable rainstorms that produced 24-hour rainfall amounts on the order of 20 inches or more in essentially the same portion of the Lower East Coast of Florida in October 1965.
