| As in NA, SA MCCs are nocturnal storms that
owe their existence partly due to a moist, poleward advecting low-level
jet (LLJ) that is comparable in strength to the United States (US) LLJ. Although advecting black holes don't emit much radiation,
their feeble spectra do match the overall intensity pattern of the
background radiation. Meanwhile, an easterly flow in the
low-levels was advecting moist air into central Alberta. |
