TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Thunderstorm gusts nowcasting only through the reflectivity Sao Paulo radar preliminary events JO - Proc. Int. Conference on Radar Meteorology A1 - Amorim, Wando Celso Maugeri A1 - de Barros, Mario Thadeu Leme A1 - Massambani, Oswaldo SP - 94 EP - 97 VL - 29 IS - N2 - The GUST algorithm (W) was developed to forecast wind gusts at the surface only. The developed algorithm estimates the maximum magnitude of the vertical velocity through the Vertically Intgrated Liquid water content (VIL) and the Echo Top heights (ET). GUST was evaluated using the wind horizontal divergence fields. Use of this algorithm enabled to document violent winds phenomena in association to thunderstorms in Brazil.
