Abstract
Composite environmental profiles Of wind and temperature are presented for squall line cases that are spatially removed from frontal disturbances. The motions of the squall lines are inferred from radar data, and the mean environmental wind profile is presented in a coordinate system relative to the squall line. The dataset consists of 60 cases from all seasons and from various geographical regions of the continental United States. The results are compared to a similar study by Bluestein and Jain.
