- Curved wall of rain: rain edge shape exposes vertical wind profile
- W005016Z
- A wall of rain with a heavy shower. The edge of the rain curtain is curved where winds blow into it, forming a dent that bends the downdrafts around the flow. Close to the ground, the cooler outflow spills out underneath the warmer winds. As a result, the rain edge shape exposes the vertical wind profile.
