Forecasting Organized Severe Storms: Lecture 2 - Threat Regimes

In this section, Ariel Cohen describes the various characteristics that distinguish three convective-environment regimes addressed in the Day-2 Convective Outlook preparation videos. These include convective threats evolving in a northwest-flow, recycled-moisture regime; with a tropical cyclone; and from a subtle midlevel disturbance. He demonstrates how the assessment regarding organized, severe-storm ingredients can be applied to any regime by performing a detailed investigation of governing conceptual models and related meteorological data.
