Abstract: | The structure and dynamics of severe convective storms and their mesoscale environments is described on the basis of current literature. Numerical modeling of regional and cloud-scale meteorology is reviewed with respect to its contribution to the understanding of convective storm evolution. Observation techniques are surveyed briefly. Critical questions, principally on the triggering of convective storms, are listed and a U.S. national program (Project SESAME) aimed at answering them is briefly described. |
