Figure 3.24. (Top) Model of the characteristics of the morning and evening soundings favor-
able for dry-microburst activity over the High Plains. (Bottom) Model of the thermodynamic
descent of a dry microburst from cloud base. Entrainment of air from the environment into the
downdraft is neglected (from Wakimoto, 1985).
