TL;DR: The central Great Plains region in North America has a nocturnal maximum in warm-season precipitation, which is counterintuitive in the sense that convective activity over the Great Plains is out of phase with the local generation of CAPE by solar heating as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX) as mentioned in this paper is a research investigation using highly mobile platforms to examine the life cycles of mesoscale convective systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship among kinematic, microphysical, and electric field properties within a multicell Florida thunderstorm was investigated using observations from three Doppler radars (one with multiple wavelength and polarization diversity capabilities), four instrumented penetrating aircraft, a surface-based electric field mill network, and other observation facilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a meteorological overview of the 2011 US tornado outbreak and illustrate that the event was composed of three mesoscale events: a large early morning quasi-linear convective system (QLCS), a midday QLCS, and numerous afternoon supercell storms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of a gust front to bore to solitary wave transition, and comprehensive information on the evolving nocturnal boundary layer associated with this change, are described with analysis of radar and profiler measurements.
