Three-dimensional simulation of the Denver 11 July Storm of 1988 - An intense microburst eventAn account is given of results from a numerical simulation of an intense microburst-generating storm observed near Denver during a test operation of the Terminal Doppler Radar System, on July 11, 1988. The numerical simulation encompassed comparisons with 'observed' data from measurements by Doppler radar, aircraft flight data recorders, and surface field instruments. Model results are in excellent qualitative and quantitative agreement with major storm feature observations. The intense microburst that was generated some distance 'downshear' of the primary precipitation area was driven by cooling due to sublimating snow.
