Atmospheric physicsSimulation
A similar peak updraft leaves other storm properties unresolved
Run an atmospheric model, build a simpler physical explanation, and compare the behavior they produce.
RESULT AND LIMITS
The simpler model produces a similar peak updraft, while other storm properties disagree substantially with the detailed model.
This is an idealized model comparison without observational validation. Some original diagnostic definitions and captions still require correction.
