If the older updraft was on the right (left) side of the new one, the reflectivity column associated with the older updraft would tilt and move to the right (left), and after updraft demise, hydrometeors within the cell would descend along the right (left) flank of the storm. These parameters provide guidance for the downdraft strength, which is subsequently affected by evaporation and loading by hydrometeors near the updraft. It is believed that this may be due to hydrometeors falling in close proximity to the updraft due to the lack of ventilation aloft by strong advection. |
