, 2017 Relationships between lightning and lightning jumps and physical updraft properties are frequently observed and generally understood. However, a more intensive characterization of how lightning relates to traditional radar-based metrics of storm ...

Relationships between thunderstorm mesoscale circulation and tornadogenesis. [PDF]
, 1983 The data show that vertical vorticity production in tornadic storms begins at the very roots of the updraft as horizontal vorticity associated with low level environmental air is tilted toward the vertical. The vertical vorticity produced is amplified by

Mesocyclone activity over the North-East Atlantic. Part 1: vortex distribution and variability
, 1999 Polar mesocyclones are subsynoptic-scale low pressure systems that form over high-latitude oceans in a cold air mass. It is known that these systems can be very vigorous but only relatively short time periods have been studied in the past to estimate ...

Simulation of the Mesocyclonic Activity in the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Monthly Weather Review, 1995 The mesocyclonic activity in the southwestern Ross Sea is examined, with emphasis on its forcing by katabatic winds. The three-dimensional version of the meso-gamma-scale primitive equation model Modele Atmospherique Regional is used in which a representation of cloud microphysical processes has been introduced.

The Effects of Low-Level Wind Shear Orientation, Depth, and Magnitude on Low-Level Rotation in Simulated Supercell Thunderstorms [PDF]
, 2016 Supercell thunderstorms simulated using the numerical model CM1 are used to analyze the effects of low-level vertical wind shear on near-ground rotation in the storm.

The Regulation of Tornado Intensity by Updraft Width
, 2017 Strong to violent tornadoes cause a disproportionate amount of damage, in part because the width and length of a tornado damage track are correlated to tornado intensity (as now estimated through enhanced Fujita scale ratings).

Advances in Meteorology, 2013 A diagnostic pressure equation constraint has been incorporated into a storm-scale three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system. This diagnostic pressure equation constraint (DPEC) is aimed to improve dynamic consistency among different

Mesocyclone and RFD evolution in simulated supercell storms with varying wind profiles
, 2010 In the literature, frequent attempts have been made to understand supercell mesocyclone evolution via observations and modeling. Some such modeling attempts have examined changes produced by varying environmental characteristics, including the wind ...

The 16 April 2011 EF3 Tornado in Greene County Eastern North Carolina
, 2012 This paper presents a case study of an EF3 tornado that adversely impacted Greene and Pitt Counties in eastern North Carolina on 16 April 2011. This was one of the most damaging and longest-lived of the multiple tornados that occurred across central and ...
