Active periods: Increased rainfall/organization
S-PolKa
Suppressed periods: Reduced rainfall, shallower convection, dry mid-levels
Objective: Describe the evolution of non-precipitating clouds to deeper convection during suppressed conditions

• Convection forming along boundary layer features (rolls, cloud lines) in the morning– Non-precipitating clouds have distinct polarimetric signatures
• Precipitating clouds produce cold pools late morning/afternoon– New initiation focused along gust front– More numerous and deeper convection when gust fronts
collide• As near active period, increased rain, deeper echo, more
cells, interacting cold pools
Summary
![Page 17: C loud structure and organization under suppressed conditions during DYNAMO/AMIE/CINDY2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681635c550346895dd420ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Characterize periods and properties of cloud lines (environment, frequency, diurnal cycle, non-precipitating clouds)
• Manually document cold pools (maximum diameter, parent convection characteristics)
• Search for times when gust front moves over Gan ARM site and relate to radar data
