Figure 4.23a. The smooth, striated, laminar appearance of the downshear side of the updraft
tower of supercells, as viewed from ahead and to the right of the storm movement. It is thought
that this laminar appearance is due to the forced lifting of stable air. (Top) In northwest Kansas
on June 10, 2008; (bottom) in central Oklahoma on May 3, 1999. In these photographs, mid-
level clouds are seen streaming in around the right-forward flank of the storm (photographs by
the author).
