Doppler Observation of Auburndale Windstorm of August 12, 1975.
Abstract
Contours of pulse-pair mean Doppler velocities displayed on a PPI scope can indicate areas of potentially damaging winds. An illustration of this was the windstorm centered at Auburndale, Massachusetts the evening of August 12, 1975. Areas of high Doppler mean velocity coincided in time with areas of severe straight-line wind damage at the ground. The high winds were apparently confined to within half a kilometer above the surface, and persisted for less than 35 minutes. (Author)
