+ # Updraft Forcing
11
 
12
+ A kinematic-diagnostic model for examining how environmental wind shear and mesocyclone intensity drive perturbation pressure and vertical accelerations in convective storms.
13
 
14
+ Configure a Weisman-Klemp analytic sounding and drag the hodograph to set the wind profile, then explore:
15
 
16
+ - **Skew-T log-P diagram** with parcel trace, CAPE/CIN shading, and meteorological wind barbs
17
+ - **Perturbation pressure** decomposed into linear (shear interaction), nonlinear spin, nonlinear splat, and buoyancy terms (Trapp 2013)
18
+ - **Vertical velocity** diagnosed from a 1-D pseudoadiabatic parcel model with overshooting top
19
  - **CAPE, CIN, LCL, LFC, EL** from the analytic sounding
20
+ - **SRH** (0–2 km, 2–5 km) and **Updraft Helicity** relative to the Bunkers right-mover storm motion
21
+ - **Prescribed mesocyclone ζ(z)** driving the nonlinear spin pressure term and updraft helicity
22
 
23
+ Plan views and vertical cross-sections are available for all 3-D fields. Pressure perturbations are solved via a 2-D FFT + tridiagonal Poisson solver on a 100 × 100 × 161 grid (Δ = 100 m).
