Abstract In this second paper in a series on outflow interactions, we use the three-dimensional model described in Part I to examine the effects of vertical wind shear variations on cloud development along intersecting thunderstorm outflow boundaries. Three wind shear profiles are used in this study: shear only above cloud base, shear only below cloud base, and shear both above and below cloud base. As in Part I, the shear is unidirectional and is oriented perpendicular to the line containing the two initial outflow-producing clouds (which are spaced 16 km apart). Using the environmental thermodynamic structure from the control simulation in Part I, we vary the shear magnitude in each profile and examine the properties of cloud development in the region where the two outflows collide (the outflow collision line or CL). The model results show that the intensity and the time interval between successive cell updraft maxima of the first two clouds along the CL (both of which are triggered by the outflow colli...
