Description:

VIL, vertically integrated liquid water content (Greene and Clark 1972), has long been viewed as potentially one of the more useful radar indicators of thunderstorm severity (Elvander 1980; Saffle and El- vander 1981; Devore 1983; McGovern et al. 1985; Beasley 1986; Jackson 1987; Davis and Drake 1988; and Teague 1990). This paper is an attempt to improve familiarity with VIL by providing a pragmatic look at VIL's units and method of computation.
