AB: Dual-Doppler data from 4 different days of the CRYSTAL-FACE experiment were analyzed. These days represented three different regime types - maritime convection, typical Florida peninsula convection, and peninsula convection influenced by Saharan dust. These days exhibited differences in convective organization, ranging from mostly short-lived cells embedded in larger convective clusters to larger more coherent, longer-lasting mesoscale organization. We will present and contrast draft (up and down) statistics for all days. Mass and water fluxes were calculated for all cases.
