What’s even better than AzShear?

AzShear + DivShear = Velocity Gradient

Below is a look at AzShear down low with an approaching QLCS. Fairly noisy right?

Here is another view using DivShear – in other words, divergence along a radial similar to how shear is computed across radials. The convergence (i.e., negative divergence) shows up nicely, eh?

Now combining those fields together with Velocity Gradient, things really start to jump.

Look how well DivShear works with MARCs , too:

Certainly better than AzShear when it comes to mid-level convergence…

And then putting them together for Velocity Gradient…



Now, closer to the QLCS “summit”, we see fairly coherent DivShear…

And this is how Velocity Gradient shows it.

Hoping to show some extremely cool results with these fields involving a QLCS mesovortex later in this case if time permits…
