Pulse Severe Thunderstorms
|
Storms must meet fairly strict criteria to be considered for this study. Storms displaying any organized structure, such as being aligned along fronts or squall lines, having supercell characteristics, producing tornados or having a mesocyclone present, were not included. Control cases also need to complete their life cycle over a region with a high enough population density to minimize the chance of having an undetected severe event included as a control case. The intent behind these strict criteria is to capture the storms that are the most difficult to warn for. However, these criteria have limited the number of storms available for this study.
