Description
This study documents a class of squall lines that appears to be approximately two-dimensional, has a solid leading edge echo during a portion of its life cycle, and and has line-normal flow characterized by a continuous zone of negative horizontal velocity that slopes upward from the leading edge to the rear of the storm.

Description
The results of this study show that the most important controls on inhibiting boundary layer growth in the wake of this squall line are a significant downward vertical velocity at the top of the mixed layer and an associated increase in stability of the overlying air.

Description
A dynamic version of the two dimensional kinematic cloud model of Rutledge and Houze (1987) has been developed to investigate the effect of microphysics on circulations within the stratiform region associated with mesoscale convective systems. The design of the model allows for specified inputs of hydrometeors, water vapor and heat from the convective region.
