FORECASTING SEVERE CONVECTIVE STORMS
Introduction: One of the most difficult tasks facing modern synoptic meteorology is the forecasting of heavy convective storms (tornadoes). Heavy convective storms, extratropical hurricanes, tornadoes, whose products are storm-storming processes, are a ...

Design and rocket deployment of a trackable pseudo-Lagrangian drifter-based meteorological probe into the Lawrence/Linwood EF4 tornado and mesocyclone on 28 May 2019 [PDF]
A custom lightweight, miniaturized, and trackable meteorological probe was launched by a model rocket into the inflow region of an EF4, long-tracked tornado south of Lawrence, Kansas, on 28 May 2019 and sampled tornado core flow.

Analytic studies on satellite detection of severe, two-cell tornadoes [PDF]
It is argued that a two-cell structure is likely to be the unique property, and potentially satellite-accessible observable, of the exceptionally severe tornado.

Mesocyclone and Microburst Signature Distortion with Dual PRT Radars
Abstract A simple model is used to illustrate the limitations of dual pulse repetition time (PRT) radars for measurements of wind fields with strong horizontal wind gradients. In such conditions, errors may occur even if the radial velocity measurements in the individual rays are not aliased. However, basic circulation and divergent signatures are seen

Association between NSSL Mesocyclone Detection Algorithm-Detected Vortices and Tornadoes
Abstract Nearly 100 000 vortex detections produced by the Mesocyclone Detection Algorithm (MDA) are analyzed to gain insight into the effectiveness of the detection algorithm in identifying various types of tornado-producing events. Radar and algorithm limitations prevent raw vortex detections from being very useful without further discrimination ...

Evidences for and the models of self-similar skeletal structures in fusion devices, severe weather phenomena and space [PDF]
The paper briefly reviews (i) the evidences for self-similar structures of a skeletal form (namely, tubules and cartwheels, and their simplest combinations), called the Universal Skeletal Structures (USS), observed in the range 10-5 cm - 1023 cm.
