| Summary: | CAPE and at least moderate low-level lapse rates in cloud model, was used to simulate supercell development for environments with adequate shear and buoyancy distributions forecast and to detect on radar. Observations of tornadic having moderate vertical lapse rates in temperature. in the low levels regardless of the environment's total CAPE. indicator of an environment's potential to produce tornadic level mesocyclone development. The emphasis is to examine low-topped supercell environments allude to low-to-moderate mesocyclone development in the models were similar for Model results suggest the vertical distribution of buoyancy nine idealized environments having a range of wind shears and over the sheared depth of the environment is a better potential.

This study examines the role of low-level to the development of low-topped supercells with tornadic Tornadic potential in low-topped convection is difficult to total CAPE predictive of supercell type storms, and all updraft intensity and persistence, and on mid-level and low- vertical buoyancy distributions in influencing supercell wind, temperature, and moisture profiles that are conducive |
