As the photographs on this page show, storms never look or behave
exactly the same, from one storm event to the next. What aspects
of the storm environment regulate the morphology and intensity
of storms on any given day? COMPASS, a large parameter space study
using numerical simulations as a tool, is attempting to obtain
an answer to this question. |
