Climatology and Ingredients of Significant Severe Convection in High-Shear, Low-CAPE Environments (2014, background): “…shear magnitudes such as S3MG have been identified as discriminators between severe and nonsevere convection, particularly in cases of QLCS mesovortices and tornadoes (Weisman and Trapp 2003; Godfrey et al. 2004; Lane and Moore 2006), which are common in HSLC environments (Davis and Parker 2012).”
Low-Level Mesovortices within Squall Lines and Bow Echoes. Part II: Their Genesis and Implications (2003, result): “Sensitivity of low-level QLCS structure to environmental wind shear was discussed extensively in Part I (Weisman and Trapp 2003), which otherwise supports the robustness of the general results.”
The Bow Echo and MCV Experiment: Observations and Opportunities (2004, background): “Weisman and Trapp (2003) and Trapp and Weisman (2003) have further documented the ability of numerical models to generate intense surface mesovortices, which are perhaps analogous to rotating cells thought to produce damaging winds in some cases.”
Vortex Structure and Evolution within Bow Echoes. Part I: Single-Doppler and Damage Analysis of the 29 June 1998 Derecho (2004, methodology): “This behavior is consistent with idealized bow echo simulations (Weisman and Davis 1998; Weisman and Trapp 2003; Trapp and Weisman 2003).”
Effects of Upper-Level Shear on the Structure and Maintenance of Strong Quasi-Linear Mesoscale Convective Systems (2006, methodology): “This evolution is consistent with the well-known archetypal MCS with trailing stratiform precipitation (Houze et al. 1989) and with the simulations presented in Weisman and Trapp (2003) and WR04 that include moderate low-level shear and no upper-level shear.”
