Description:

"In this study, synoptic analyses were used to diagnose the potential for severe thunderstorm development on 4 November 1992. In addition, soundings and Hodographs were generated by using the Skew-T Hodograph Analysis and Research Program (SHARP; Hart and Korotky 1991) workstation, in order to examine the atmospheric stability and low-level wind shear profile. The Turbo Upper-Air (US) Program (OMEGA Diagnostic; Foster 1988) was also used extensively for the analysis of synoptic variables"--Introduction.
