Comparisons were made between the wind and wind shear profiles pertaining to patternform (clouds in rows) and non-patternform cumulus convection. No unique or consistent differences were found. The directional correspondence of the cumulus rows end wind was also investigated. The rows were found to be most frequently oriented about 3" to the left of the surface wind abd about 15" to the left of the wind at the cloud base level.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
