Archives for meteorology, geophysics, and bioclimatology, Serie A(29), 249-267. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02247765https://daki.cigefi.ucr.ac.cr/handle/123456789/5A classification of storms in squall lines, thunderstorm clusters, and isolated thunderstorms was made using radar data collected during the second phase of the Venezuelan International Meteorological and Hydrological Experiments (VIMHEX-1972). The nearenvironmental conditions in advance of these types of storms are examined. The modification of the environment, as deduced from the dry static energy, moist static energy, latent heat content and relative winds is also studied, and a conceptual model for the storms is presented. Finally, some aspects of storm movement are described.enArticle
