  1. Conventional and Isentropic Analyses of a Cold-Season Heavy Rainfall Episode Associated with Elevated Convection Dr. Scott M. Rochette Department of the Earth Sciences SUNY Brockport

  2. 24-h Rainfall ending at 1200 UTC 14 November 1993 (in.)

  3. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 Surface Chart (standard notation/symbology)

  4. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 850-hPa z/V

  5. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 850-hPa e (note strong gradient over MO)

  6. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 850-hPa e Advection (red  positive)

  7. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 250-hPa z/V

  8. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 Precipitable Water (MO: 230-270% of normal)

  9. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 KLZK e Cross-Section (note deep CI layer above shallow stable layer near surface)

  10. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 304 K Moisture Transport Vectors (note MO downstream from MT maximum)

  11. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 304 K Wind Vectors/Isobars/Omega (solid  isentropic UVM)

  12. 0000 UTC 14 November 1993 Ageostrophic/Omega Cross-Section (Point C  northwest MO; Point D  south-central MO)

  13. Cool-sector MCS cool side of sfc boundary cool side of 850-hPa e Strong LLJ coupled to ULJ? MCS in region of positive LL e advection Stable boundary layer elevated CI MCS not rooted to boundary layer High moisture content PW 230-270% of normal Diagnosis of UVM Cross-sections  surfaces Isentropic MT vectors very illustrative MCS forms downstream of max MT vectors Summary
