The Role of Forcing in Cell Morphology and Evolution within Midlatitude Squall Lines-2005

BRIAN F. JEWETT AND ROBERT B. WILHELMSON\

Squall-line evolution is a consequence of many factors, including the relative strength of the cold pool and ambient shear (Weisman and Rotunno 2004), the orientation of the convective line to the vertical shear (Bluestein and Weisman 2000), and line end and Coriolis effects (Skamarock et al. 1994)

An important component of line morphology is storm cell interaction, which is related to line orientation (Bluestein and Weisman 2000), cell strength, position, and propagation (Jewett et al. 2002)
