Analysis of Seasonal Variations in Gulf Plains Convective Cores

The analysis reveals fascinating insights into Gulf Plains convective cores, showcasing variations in core numbers, average pixels per storm, pixels per core, and core sizes across different seasons. Deep-Wide cores dominate in the summer, while Gulf cores are larger in the fall. The study sheds light on how core characteristics differ between seasons and areas, offering valuable data for meteorological research.
