Three-Dimensional Storm Structure and Low-Level Boundaries at Different Stages of Cyclic Mesocyclone Evolution in a High-Precipitation Tornadic Supercell [PDF]
Nearly continuous wind retrievals every three minutes for an unprecedented 90-minute period were constructed during multiple mesocyclone cycles in a tornadic high-precipitation supercell.

Analysis of Dual Polarization Characteristics of Turbulent Structure from Hail Supercell Storms
Convective storms transmit momentum through turbulence, so it is important to understand the echo characteristics of turbulence structure in severe convective storms.Focusing on the velocity spectrum width above 5 m·s -1, the turbulent intensity of two ...

Remote Monitoring of Mediterranean Hurricanes Using Infrasound
Mediterranean hurricanes, or medicanes, are tropical-like cyclones forming once or twice per year over the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. These mesocyclones pose a serious threat to coastal infrastructure and lives because of their strong winds and ...
