Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Lorsqu'une microrafale atteint le sol, une signature de divergence peut être vue sur le radar. Dans la partie droite de l'image, vous pouvez voir le modèle de vent divergent en vitesse près du niveau du sol de deux orages différents. Le rouge vif indique les vents qui s'éloignent du radar et le vert vif indique les vents soufflant vers le radar. La partie gauche de l'image montre les réflectivités des deux orages.
English: When a microburst reaches the ground, a divergence signature can be seen on radar. On the right side of the image, you can see the divergent wind pattern in velocity near ground level from two different storms. The bright red indicates winds blowing away from the radar, and the bright green indicates winds blowing toward the radar. The left side of the image shows the reflectivity of the storms
