Satellite observation and mesoscale cloud modeling of St. Anthony, Minnesota storm cloudsBoth rawinsonde data and geosynchronous satellite imagery were used to study the life cycles of St. Anthony, Minnesota's severe convective storms. Cloud modeling, with input sounding data from Saint Cloud, Minnesota, and rapid-scan imagery from GOES were used to investigate storm cloud formation, development and dissipation. Comparisons were made among the seven groups of severe storms which produced an outbreak of 30 tornadoes across the United States.
