Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, July 1st, 2003
Matthew Parker, an assistant professor of meteorology/climatology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, gave a presentation to the Omaha-Offutt chapter in March titled "Adiabatic Versus Nearly Adiabatic Layers: Compensating Subsidence, Tornadogenesis, and Convective Outflow." Parker shared insights into some preliminary work that he's conducted with Jason Nachamkin of the Naval Research Laboratory.
Parker noted the increased recent attention to adiabatic lapse rates in tornadic environments. In addition to their effect upon updraft strength, he suggested that their effect on gravity wave pro...
