TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of a developing nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) on the convective-scale dynamics of a simulated squall line.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of 21 cases in which an isolated supercell merged with a squall line were identified and investigated using analyses from the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model, archived data from the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) network, and severe storm reports.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the storm-scale processes responsible for squall-line evolution following a merger with an isolated supercell, and found that the premerger squall line weakens as it encounters outflow from the preline supercell and the supercell becomes the leading edge of the merged system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the 30 March 2006 episode through a combination of an observation-based case study and numerical simulations, and found that the convective mode was very sensitive to both the environmental thermodynamic and wind shear profiles, with variations in either leading to different convective modes within the numerical simulations.

TL;DR: Base-state substitution (BSS) as mentioned in this paper is a novel modeling technique for approximating environmental heterogeneity in idealized simulations, allowing the user to independently modify the kinematic or thermodynamic environments, or replace the entire sounding without altering the structure of the perturbation fields.
