Figure 3.23. (Top) Dry microburst over southwestern Kansas on May 31, 1994, as viewed
from the NOAA P-3 aircraft. Precipitation curtain is seen to the left, while a bowed segment of
blowing dust is visible at and just above the ground. The qualitative air motion is indicated by
the white vectors (photograph by the author). (Bottom) Ted Fujita's single-Doppler analysis of
a dry microburst that caused two commercial airlines to abort while landing at Denver's
Stapleton Airport. The black contours are the radar reflectivity factor and the red contours
are receding Doppler velocities and blue approaching. Streamlines are the heavy black lines
(from Wilson and Wakimoto, 2001).
