Description:
A model simulation is performed for a small, intense thunderstorm which occurred at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport on August 2, 1985, leading to the crash of a commercial jetliner. The simulation is conducted with the three-dimensional Terminal Area Simulation System, a nonhydrostatic cloud model. The simulation is in good agreement with observations of the storm. It is found that for similar events, very little warning time may be possible as warning is based only on the surface level winds.
