Talk:Hook echo

What happens in the clip? A supercell (with the hook (in frames 6-9)) merges with a regular cumulonimbus? Correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.58.207 (talk • contribs)
 * Sounds about right. All the cells in the clip have supercell characteristics, but only the center one has a visible hook echo.- Running  On  Brains  16:29, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey guys, the "hook echo" just is the radar reflection of the rear-flank downdraft of a supercell. I think claiming that the NWS considers the presence of a hook echo as justification for a tornado warning may be over simplifying the process a little.Bigme100 (talk) 05:52, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Huh?
"U.S. Southern states"? So, basically "United States Southern states" - isn't this just a tad awkward? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.11 (talk) 15:26, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've changed it to "Southern United States." If you see clearly redundant words, especially if they don't reflect the primary name found in that word's wikipedia article, don't feel shy about changing it. Lakshwadeep (talk) 04:52, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Huff team?
I've reread the history section several times in a row and I can't figure out what "Ted Fujita documented hook echoes associated with other supercells on the same day as Huff team made their observations." is referring to. It's possible that I'm just overlooking some prior description of "Huff team". Normally, I would try to edit for clarification, but I'm short on time at the moment. I'm hoping that someone who already knows about the history of hook echo signatures can do a quick clarification. Caitlin.swartz (talk) 11:39, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind. I see that Huff refers to the reference which is a scientific study on the Staggs section. Caitlin.swartz (talk) 11:41, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
