980729 - A DCVZ was in place early on this day in a moist and conditionally
unstable atmosphere.  We first intercepted the boundary eight miles east of
Byers on US36, where we encountered a sharp 6-8 degree Centigrade dewpoint
gradient and wind shift.  Of the two mobile mesonets, one executed brief
and very slow east-west transects along the moisture gradient, while the
other performed longer transects covering both the windshift and moisture
gradient.

The moisture gradient was found to be on a scale of 10s of meters
across.  The wind shift however, was more defuse and consisted of 8-16kt
southerly winds with 5-10kt northerly winds over a distance of 1-1.5km.
The sharpness of the boundary did not change or move during the first hour
and a half.  Deep convection did develop northeast of our location,
producing a strong southwestward moving outflow boundary.  We transected
the outflow boundary as it passed over us on US36.  Once passed we followed
the outflow boundary westward on US36 and made over a dozen transects along
it east of Bennett where it slowed and mixed out.  At this point a three
degree Centigrade dewpoint gradient and 90 degree wind shift denoted the
boundarys position.
