Abstract
Acoustic sounder observations of thunderstorm density currents reveal a complicated but ordered internal structure. Fast-response anemometers on a 150-m tower reveal a succession of internal shear layers which occur following the leading portion or nose of the current. The measured wind shear revealed by the anemometers is found to be a function of the temperature differential between the ambient air and the interior of the gust, measured near the surface. An heuristic model is developed to explain this observation.
