This paper describes anattempt to investigate the influence and effect of ambient moisture in the development of storm.

It was foundthat the correlation between the ambient moistness and the intensity of rotating convective cellscan be well analyzed by helicity dynamics. The correlation between environmental streamwisevorticity (i. e. helicity) and vertical velocity (storm updraft or downdraft) is a powerfulindicator to catch favorable or unfavorable conditions for storm evolution.
