Supercell thunderstorms in the us form most often in the central states (is. oklahoma). the ideal wind shear profile consists of southeast winds at the surface that strengthen and become more westerly with altitude. shown below are 4 vertical wind profiles taken from 4 different soundings. which is the ideal vertical wind profile for a supercell? wind shear is calculated by finding the difference between the wind speed values at two different heights using the profile you identified above, next you will calculate the 0-1 km and 0-5 km wind shear values. this means we will find the difference between the surface wind (lowest wind barb on the sounding) and the speed of the wind at 1 km and 5 km the atmospheric pressure at 1 km above sea level is typically very close to 850 mb. the pressure at 5 km above sea level is very close to 500 mb. calculate the 0-1 km and 0-5 km wind shear values in knots (kts) 0-1 km shear 0-5km shear value__ a powerful thunderstorm produced large bail that damaged hundreds of cars at a dealership town when the insurance adjuster arrived to assess the situation, she discovered that most of the hundreds of dents these hailstones left on the tops of the cars had two sizes-one set of dents were 4 inches in diameter and the other set was 6 inches in diameter. see if you can use the information below to find the, mass, diameter, circumference, fall speed, and total kinetic energy for these two different sized hailstines. be very careful with the (show all of your work! ) kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2 (units: mass rightarrow kg, velocity rightarrow m/s) density of the ice in the hail stones = 57 lbs/ft^3 the volume of a sphere is (8/3) times pi times r^3 the fall velocity of a hailstone in still air can be approximated using this equation v = k squareroot d where k = 20 if d (the diameter of the stone) is given in centimetres. v will have units of meters per second (m/s) as long as d is in cm. diameter of the dent = 1.5 * diameter of the hailstone density = mass volume
