Description:"General thunderstorm climatology and characteristics have been extensively documented (e.g., Byers and Braham 1949, U.S. Environmental Data Service 1968, Changery 1981, Doswell 1985). Diurnal variations of thunderstorms and precipitation in the continental U.S. have been studied (Wallace 1975). A number of more localized studies on diurnal convective development in relation to prevailing wind regimes have also been accomplished (e.g., Smith 1970, Wakimoto and Atkins 1994, Atkins and Wakimoto 1997). This current study examines specific geographical and diurnal origins of convection during July in and near Georgia. The goal of this study is to compile a detailed climatology of the time, location and movement of the initial development of convection during July for a 10-year period based on radar data"--Introduction.
