Distinguishing Features

AbstractThe meteorological characteristics associated with thunderstorm top turbulence and tropical cyclone (TC) gigantic jets (GJ) are investigated. Using reanalysis data and observations, the large-scale environment and storm top structure of three GJ-producing TCs are compared to three non-GJ oceanic thunderstorms observed via low-light camera. Evidence of gravity wave breaking is manifest in the IR satellite images with cold ring and enhanced-V signatures prevalent in TCs Hilda and Harvey and embedded warm spots in the Dorian and Null storms. Statistics from an additional six less prodigious GJ environments are also included as a baseline. Distinguishing features of the TC GJ environment include higher tropopause, colder brightness temperatures, more stable lower stratosphere/distinct tropopause and reduced tropopause penetration. These factors support enhanced gravity wave (GW) breaking near the cloud top (overshoot). The advantage of a higher tropopause is that both electrical conductivity and GW breaking increase with altitude and thus act in tandem to promote charge dilution by increasing the rate at which the screening layer forms as well as enhancing the storm top mixing. The roles of the upper level ambient flow and shear are less certain. Environments with significant upper tropospheric shear may compensate for a lower tropopause by reducing the height of the critical layer which would also promote more intense GW breaking and turbulence near the cloud top.
