Description
What causes some convective storms to weaken within 30 minutes while others last for hours and travel hundreds of kilometers? The causes of convection and how that convection can grow into storms that spawn devastating hail and tornadoes are described in this course. Case studies and near real-time examination of storms around the country as they develop are examined.
