Investigation of Cb Motion in the Province of Alberta (Canada)

T. W. Krauss and A. A. Sinkevich

Cb motion is analyzed in the paper. Storm observations were carried out in the province of Alberta (Canada) in 2005 with the help of radar. A new approach, based on determination of the vector of cloud track between radar scans, was used to study motion characteristics. Results of observations have shown that storms moved straight with some offset to the right in most cases. The merging of cells can significantly change storm track in some cases. The data obtained do not permit us to make a conclusion about the impact of seeding on cloud motion.
