> Increasing the walls’ height to 2500 m
causes substantial displacement, not
elimination, of the convective storms and
tornado threat. The local climate impacts
could be substantial as well, even in these
63 h simulations. These impacts could
include desertification of much of Texas,
increased precipitation on the windward
side of the walls, and circulations induced
by the edges of the walls that could cause
an increase in non-supercellular
tornadoes.
