1. Download the paper at: http://journals.ametsoc.org.lsc-proxy.libraries.vsc.edu/doi/pdf/10.1175/MWR-D-13-00314.1

2. Read through the introduction According to the authors, why is understanding the dryline important?

3. Characterize the across frontal scale in terms of mixing ratio, thetav, thetae, and winds.

4. How deep is the dryline?

5. Discuss the process of convective initiation along the dryline. What factors promote CI? What factors inhibit CI? Where do you think the parcels feeding the updrafts of incipient storms are coming from?
