Radar study of convective cells in mesoscale systems in GATE, Pt. 1, Vertical profile statistics and comparison of the hurricanes

The authors describe the structure of the vertical profile of radar reflectivity in convective cells that are part of mesoscale convective systems in GATE. Earlier work established that characteristic mean vertical velocities in such convective clouds in GATE were weak,
