Concerns Regarding Severe Deep Moist Convection

Buoyancy is key to thunderstorm growth and is necessary for any of the severe threats within a thunderstorm. There are other processes, not necessarily thermodynamic, that can increase updraft strength. These include updraft rotation, low level convergence, and evacuation of mass out of the top of the updraft via strong upper level winds and the jet stream.

    Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.

    from deep in the dark head
    his smile glowing
    outward into the
    room’s severe twilight,
    he lies....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still for ever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white
    beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your
    voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit
    single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity? and
    will you yet call yourself young?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
