Analysis of the rapidly growing mesoscale system of deep convection on satellite maps of the diagnosis / Bukharov M.V., Bukharov V. M. // Hydrometeorological Research and Forecasting, 2020, no. 2 (376), pp. 23-38.

The application of satellite maps of the diagnosis for the analysis of the properties of the rapidly growing mesoscale system of deep convection is considered. Satellite maps of diagnosis found that the diameter of the round almost suddenly arisen cloud rose to 300 km for 3 hours and has continued to grow rapidly, and at its periphery is recognized as an ordered ringcluster supercells thunderstorm clouds. This allowed us to call such a system rapidly growing mesoscale supercells complex convective clouds (MCCSC). Analysis of the development phases and high vertical speed estimates upward movements in MCCSC, speeds growth its diameter and transfer.
