Applications of vortex gas models to tornadogenesis and maintenance [PDF]
, 2017 Processes related to the production of vorticity in the forward and rear flank downdrafts and their interaction with the boundary layer are thought to play a role in tornadogenesis.

The College Park, Maryland, Tornado of 24 September 2001
Geosciences, 2019 The 24 September 2001 College Park, Maryland, tornado was a long-track and strong tornado that passed within a close range of two Doppler radars. It was the third in a series of three tornadoes associated with a supercell storm that developed in Stafford

Mitigation of Wind Turbine Clutter With Digital Phased Array Radar
IEEE Access, 2023 Wind turbine clutter (WTC) contamination affects polarimetric meteorological observations and automatic high-impact weather detection algorithms in several ways, such as, misidentification of precipitation echoes, false mesocyclone detections, and ...

A Reassessment of the Percentage of Tornadic Mesocyclones
Weather and Forecasting, 2005 Abstract A large set of data collected by numerous Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) units around the United States was analyzed to reassess the percentage of tornadic mesocyclones. Out of the 5322 individual mesocyclone detections that satisfied the relatively stringent WSR-88D Mesocyclone Detection Algorithm objective ...

Estimating dispersion from a tornado vortex and mesocyclone [PDF]
, 1996 Atmospheric dispersion modeling is required to ensure that a postulated breach in radionuclide storage containers at the Savannah River Site (SRS) from a tornado strike of Fujita-scale intensity F2 or higher will not result in an unacceptable dose to individuals. Fujita-scale tornado descriptions are included in Appendix A of this report.

Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.On September 19, 2023, a rare autumn tornado outbreak, consisting of three successive tornadoes (including one EF3), occurred in northern Jiangsu, China, causing significant damage. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of this event using multisource data, including Doppler radar, ERA5 reanalysis, and surface observations.
