Abstract

A study of convection as portrayed by Oceanographer radar during phase III of GATE reveals four occasions on which an organized line of convection moved with a speed close to or greater than the wind speed at any level. They are shown to resemble closely the analytical model and numerical simulation of tropical line squalls developed by Moncrieff and Miller. This form of organization is associated with a lowlevel wind maximum in the direction of movement.
