1. INTRODUCTION

The focus of this report is to provide detailed data on microburst outflows recorded by the TI)WR-'stbed radar (FL-2) in Huntsville, Alabama (1936) and Demer, Colorado (1987-88). Detailed

information on microburst outflow characteristics is relevant to a number of issues:

(1) optimizing the siting and scanning of TDWR systems(2) assessing the detection capability of other wind sheardetection systems (e.g. ASR-9 and LLWAS)(3) understanding the operational hazard of a microburst toaircraft, and(4) validation of numerical models for microburst producingstorms.

However, much of the extensive past data base on microbursts does not provide adequatequantitative data to address these issues due to:

(1) clutter contamination of the surface scan data, and(2) scan strategies that did not provide adequate vertical andtemporal resolution in the outflow region.

In view of the importance of microburst outflow characteristics to the operational application of theTDWR system, a concerted effort has been made to obtain high resolution data on microburstswhich were close to the FL-2 radar from 1986 to 1988. The microburst data contained in this reportwere obtained in both a vertical (RHI) and horizontal (PPI) scan mode. Microbursts observedwithin 10 km were typically scanned with RHI's at an azimuth resolution of I or 2 degrees.

The pertinent characteristics of the FL-2 radar are shown in Table 1.

function of core reflectivity, outflow wind strength, storm height, etc. Sections III and IV discussexamples of microburst outflows observed in Huntsville and Denver respectively. Section V

describes the raw data compiled in the report. The final section is a conclusion of the pertinentissues in understanding the importance of the depth of outflow in the microburst detection process.

The vast bulk of the report consists of Appendix B, which provides detailed data (e.g. printouts of

the radial velocity data on RHI scans together with color plots of the RHI and PPI data) for use byresearchers investigating the issues discussed at the beginning of this section.

I. OUTFLOW DEPTHS

The depth of outflow is pertinent to the detection capability and siting strategy of a single Dopplerradar observing the microburst from a horizontal viewing angle. The current TDWR scan strategy

consists of only PPI tilts with a surface tilt for microburst outflow detection scheduled once per

minute. The altitude over the airport of the lowest elevation angle represents a delicate tradeoff

between:

(1) scanning close to the surface to insure that the strong

outflow winds are observed, and(2) scanning far enough above the surface to minimize ground

clutter contamination.

Of particular interest is the variability of outflow depths from case to case and site to site (refer toTables 3 and 4). If the depth of the microburst is shallow, a detection algorithm might

underestimate or miss the wind shear entirely. Wilson et al. (1984) stressed the importance of radarsiting in order to detect shallow outflows. A study by DiStefano (1987) concluded that a shallow

outflow depth contributed to a missed microburst by the FL-2 radar on 23 July 1985 in Memphis,Tennessee.

In this section we provide a comparative analysis of outflow statistics tabulated from the FLOWS

Project in a wet environment (Huntsville) and dry region (Denver). Table 2 is a list of the fourteen

highest resolution microburst outflows from Huntsville and Denver which were scanned in an RHI

mode.' The radial velocity differential for these outflows ranged from 14 to 27 m/s.

Tables 3 and 4 contain outflow depths from a larger microburst data base for Huntsville and

Denver including a majority of the microbursts scanned with RHI's. For this analysis, the depth of

outflow is defined as the height of one-half the maximum surface velocity. Based on this criteria,Huntsville wind shears were slightly shallower than Denver e.g., 0.4 versus 0.6 km. Microburstdepths in Huntsville ranged from 300 to 1000 meters, while Denver outflows Naried from 200 to

1100 meters. These results are similar to the typical outflow depths reported for Memphis by

Rinehart et al., (1987) and for Denver by Wilson et al., (1984).

A more detailed analysis of Denver outflow structure is presented in Tables 5 and 6. The data

was tabulated from RHI's whose vertical resolution was dependent on the distance of the event from

the radar. The values are the lowest for which the criteria was meet. An important parameter inTable 5 is the height at which the differential radial velocity drops below 10 m/s. This is the current

minimum velocity threshold for declaring a microburst (without a precursor) in the TDWR

microburst detection algorithm. The median height of differential velocity < 10 m/s was 720 meters.

"In Table 2 and the subsequent tables, we have shown the vertical resolution of the radar(Zres). For RHI scans, the vertical resolution is the beamwidth (in radians) multiplied byrange while for PPI scans, Zres is the elevation angie spacing (in radians) multiplied by range.

There was quite a lot of variability ranging from a low of 200 meters to a high of 2200 meters. Theheight of one-half the maximum velocity was computed for the same cases and are listed in Table 5.The median height of one-half the maximum velocity is 700 meters, which is similar to the height atwhich the differential velocity drops below microburst threshold,*

The height of the maximum velocity and maximum differential velocity for Denver microburstsis presented in Table 6. The median height of maximum velocity and maximum differential velocitywere 50 and 60 meters respectively. The height of the maximum deltav was below 100 meters inapproximately two-thirds of the cases. In order to detect the strongest velocities in a microburst,the minimum elevation in the TDWR scan should cover the lowest one hu-!dred metcrs AGL.

Table 7 is a subset of Denver microbursts at a distance of 15 km or less from the radar. Ten ofthirteen microbursts analyzed here attained their maximum velocity on the lowest PPI tilt in thescan. The median height of maximum velocity was 10 meters with an extreme of 160 meters. Thosemicrobursts with stronger velocities aloft could have been captured prior to the strongest outflowreaching the surface. Additional research should be conducted to determine the variability of theoutflow structure in a microburst with time.

Figure 1 is a plot of the average differential velocity versus height for the Denver microburst casesaccording to the three reflectivity classifications determined by Roberts and Wilson, 1986 (low: _<35 dBz, moderate: 40-50 dBz, high: > 55 dBz). At a height of 500 meters, the differential velocityin the low reflectivity microbursts was reduced by 15 percent, while the medium and high reflectivitycases were reduced by 20 and 25 percent respectively. There was little difference in the structure ofthe radial velocity differential with height for Denver microburst reflecivity classes.

It is important to be able to classify the type of microburst which may produce the shallowestoutflow. Figure 2 is a plot of the outflow depth versus the maximum core reflectivity at 0.5 km AGLfor the Denver data-set. The reflectivity distribution varies from 20 to 65 dBz. All of the lowreflectivity outflows were at least 500 meters deep, while the distribution for the moderate and high

* All heights cited in this report refer to the height of the radar plane assuming earthcurvature. The height above ground level would depend on the difference in elevationbetween the 3ntenna and ground in the location of interest. For example, at Hunts-vile the elevation difference between the radar and airport was -25 feet, while atDenver it was -3 11 feet.

reflectivity events ranged from 200 to 900 meters. For the cases examined here, there was nodistinct relationship between the depth of the outflow and the maximum core reflectivity.

Figure 3 is a plot of the distribution of maximum differential velocity and depth of outflow forthose cases with a Zres < 200 meters. The strongest outflow in this data-set was also one of theshallowest. However, the distribution suggests there is no relationship between the strength anddepth of the microburst. This topic will be further investigated as additional data is collected.

The TDWR system requirements statement (SRS) calls for a wind shear estimation accuracy of +and - 20 percent or 5 knots, whichever is greater. The depth of outflow statistics in Table 8 pertainto the specification required in the TDWR SRS. At a height of 325 meters the velocity in a typicalDenver microburst is 80 percent that of the surface. Approximately 90 percent of the Denvermicrobursts attained the 80 percentile value at a height of greater than 185 meters.

II1. CASE STUDY (HUNTSVILLE)

On 22 September 1986, a microburst developed just east of the FL-2 radar causing damage inthe area surrounding the Huntsville-Madison County Jetplex. The maximum surface reflectivityreached 60 dBz. The outflow was quite shallow having a maximum depth (height of one-halfmaximum deltav) of 190 meters (Table 9). This is also the height at which the differential velocitydrops below 10 m/s. The maximum radial velocity recorded by FL-2 was 21 m/s at the surface. Thisis an example of a strong microburst that could be underestimated or undetected by a radar whichdid not scan near the surface.

IV. CASE STUDY (DENVER)

On 25 June 1988, a line of 30 to 55 dBz cells formed along a convergent boundary east of FL-2.Numerous microbursts were detected along the line as it tracked westward. A high reflectivity core

just east of the radar produced a strong outflow accompanied by heavy rain and hail. The wind shearincreased from 10 to 30 m/s over a period of 4 minutes. Since there was no activity within the airportTDWR sector, FL-2 collected two volume scans of RHI's through the outflow region located within

2 km. This wind shear peaked at a velocity difference of 36 m/s over a distance of 2.5 km. Thisrepresents an average wind speed change of 14 m/s per kilometer. A divergent line persisted untilafter the cells had crossed Stapleton International Airport.

In comparison to the Huntsville event, the Denver outflow was deeper, maintaining a velocity inexcess of 10 m/s to a height of 630 meters (Table 10). The maximum differential velocity is locatednear the surface at a height of 30 meters. By 430 meters AGL, the microbursts wind speed drops

below one-half that of the surface.

V. ADDITIONAL DATA

A complete data set of resampled images and BSCANS are located in Appendix B for thoseinterested in additional outflow research. Each BSCAN is composed of the velocity value (m/s)versus range and elevation. The range in kilometers is located along the x-axis while the elevation indegrees is along the y-axis. Since the data were acquired from a single RHI tilt there is only oneazimuth for each plot. Thus it is possible to estimate the 50 or 80 percent outflow depth by

determining the velocity change with height. A number of outflows were detected on more than onevolume scan allowing for an analysis of the outflow structure with time. The resampled images depictthe microburst at approximately its strongest velocity differential. For each outflow in Table 2 there

is a brief weather synopsis

VI. CONCLUSION

Vertical profiles of microburst outflows are important for TDWR siting and scanning strategy,windshear detection systems, and an understanding of the outflow variability with location and time.The TDWR testbed has collected an extensive set of high resolution vertical profile data with RHIand PPI scans in Huntsville and Denver. This report provided summary statistics on the cases withgood vertical resolution.

The median depth of Huntsville outflows was slightly less than Denver events e.g., 400 versus 600meters. However the shallowest outflow in either locale was 200 meters for several cases fromDenver. According to the data presented here, the ITDWR must scan the lowest one hundred metersAGL in order to detect the strongest velocities in the microburst. There seems to be no relationshipbetween the maximum surface reflectivity or maximum velocity versus the depth of the outflow forDenver and Huntsville.

Based on this analysis, we recommend that the TDWR microburst detection scans extend fromthe surface to at least 200 m AGL and 100 m if there is adequate clutter suppression. Future studiesshould consider:

(1) the variability of outflow depth with time to attempt to addresstho issue of whether the deepest outflows are coincident with thestr ongest velocities

(2) an attempt to understand the physical processes that produceshallow (several hundred meters) and deep (2 kin) outflows

(3) focusing on the fine detailed study of the outflow structure todetermine if microburst vortices or rotors are present as numericalmodels suggest.

APPENDIX A: WEATHER SUMMARY

July 1, 1986

Due to a warm, moist and unstable atmosphere on this day, air-mass showers and thunderstormsdeveloped over northern Alabama. The morning's activities focused on several scattered thundershowerswhich developed to the south and southeast of FL-2. These cells were quite weak and produced only weakoutflowr. By early afternoon, stronger cells developed in the vicinity of the radar. Several fairly strongoutflows were detected by FL-2, including one with a 33 m/s differential shear.

July 19, 1986

This day's mission began at 19"10 GMT focusing on a cell 42 km to the north of the radar. By 2000 GMT,a strong cell had developed at a range of 6 km and 090 degrees. A reflectivity core of 60 dBz was observedpriov to a microburst shear of +15 and -9 m/s. Several other microbursts were observed to the east andsoutheast of FL-2.

September 22, 1986

On this day, air-mass thundershowers developed during the afternoon hours within the FLOWS mesonet.A total oi 5 microbursts and 2 gustironts were recorded in the radar logs. The strongest event was armicroburst located near FL-2 producing a radial shear of 36 m/s.

May 17, 1987

The passage of a strong cold front on this day led to the development of several strong (55 to 60 dBz) cellswest of Denver by 1900 GMT. Two gustfronts and four microbursts were detected during this day's mission.All of the events were accompanied 1.y moderate to heavy rainfall at the surface.

June 8, 1987

On this day, echoes began to develop over 'he mountains by early afternoon. At 2140, a gustfront wasdetected. Convergence along this feature provided additional lifting to a cell over Denver. Severalmicrobursts were noted within a line west of S-_apieton. Most of the outflows on this day were classified asmoderate or high reflectivity events.

June 12, 1987

On the 12th, several lines of virga developed to the west and north of FL-2. A number of strongwindshears accompanied by blowing dust were documented. The surface reflectivities in these storms weregenerally less ther. 45 dB.-. A total of 28 rnicrobursts were logged within 4 divergent lines.

September 13, 1987

Virga developed along the foothills during the mid-afternoon producing several weak microbursts. Laterin the afternoon, a second line of stronger cells built off of the mountains and moved across the airport. Anumber c-f outflows were detected in real time to the northwest, north, and northeast of the FL-2 site.

June 25, 1988

By early afternoon on this day, several moderate echoes developed along a convergence line east of theFL-2 radar. This line produced several microbursts as it drifted to the west and passed over Stapleton. Thestrongest event, accompanied by hail, caused minor damage at the FL-2 site.
