Temperature Drops Produced by Microbursts from Snow Clouds in the Winter Monsoon Season in Hokkaido, Japan

Year: 1989

Type: article

Abstract: In order to investigate the structure of micro bursts from snow clouds, radar and surface weather observations were carried out along the west coast of Hokkaido Island, Japan in the winter monsoon season.The distribution of temperature changes and its relation to the radar echo area were analyzed.Temperature drops, 2 to 3"C for ten minutes, are periodic and correspond to the echo movement.Around the maximum temperature drops, the surface wind speed increases suddenly.These are suggestive of the existence of downbursts from snow clouds.
