A little bit about transverse cirrus bands The ideal case for
band production appeared to be a strong, isolated convective system
that developed, matured, and dissipated without interacting with
any other convective storm (Lenz et al. [2009], 1365). Transverse
bands were more commonly observed to emerge near the end of the
mature stage of the [convective] system and persist through the
decay stage of the system (Lenz et al. [2009], 1365). Transverse
bands were observed at all hours of the day, though they were most
common during the nighttime hours of this study (Lenz et al.
[2009], 1368). The average time lag between convection initiation
and the first observation of transverse bands was 7 hours, and the
average duration of the bands was about 9 hours (Lenz et al.
[2009], 1369, 1372). Most commonly develop in regions of
upper-level divergence and a strong relative vorticity
gradient
