Murcia radar

(Radar images below provided by Jose Antonio Quirantes, AEMET)

The image is a composition of three Murcia radar different products at about 17:20 UTC

  1. Max reflectivity plan view plus cross sections (N-S, and W-E) at 17:20 UTC
  2. CAPPI 5 km at 17:20 UTC
  3. PPI doppler retrieved radial velocity field, at 17:16 UTC

Questions:

  • Find out what severe weather potential signals can be identify in this radar images
  • Are there any mesocyclone signatures present?
  • If so, can we estimate curvature vorticity associated? What about dynamic pressure perturbation?

Try to work out some rough numbers as estimates and compare them to their synoptic scale relatives
