The Bayesian sinking in Porticello: a predictable convective windstorm?
Weather, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 365-373, November 2025.The meteorological phenomenon that led to the Bayesian yacht sinking in Sicily at 0206 utc on 19 August 2024 is here investigated. A thunderstorm occurred during the sinking, but uncertainties exist regarding whether a waterspout or a downburst affected the ship. An in‐depth analysis of available observations highlighted that the ship was likely struck

The 16 April 2011 EF3 Tornado in Greene County, Eastern North Carolina
, 2023 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 ...

Tornadic Storm over the Foothills of Central Nepal Himalaya
MeteorologyOn the evening of 31 March 2019, Parsa and Bara Districts in central Nepal were severely hit by a wind storm which was the first documented tornadic incidence in Nepal.In this paper, we investigate the background of the tornado formation via numerical ...

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.The Dabie vortex (DBV) significantly drives tornadoes in eastern China, contributing up to 40% of events in northern Anhui. Most tornadoes form in the DBV's southeastern quadrant during development/maintenance stages, where enhanced CAPE, moisture, shear, and supercell potential exist.

Despite decades of research, forecasters still lack the ability to consistently determine whether a given supercell in a tornado-favorable environment will undergo imminent tornadogenesis and, if so, anticipate the tornado’s peak intensity.

Mesocyclone and Microphysical Evolution in Simulated Supercell Storms with Varying Wind and Moisture Profiles [PDF]
, 2011 As a high-impact convective mode, supercell thunderstorms have frequently been studied observationally and numerically. Two areas of study have focused on understanding mesocyclone evolution given a varying environmental wind profile, and learning about

Finescale Radar Observations of Tornado and Mesocyclone Structures
Weather and Forecasting, 2013 Abstract A variety of vortex configurations observed at finescale with Doppler On Wheels (DOW) radars in and near the hook echoes of supercell thunderstorms are described. These include marginal/weak tornadoes, often with no documented condensation funnels, debris rings, or low-reflectivity eyes; multiple-vortex mesocyclones; multiple ...

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.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 772, October 2025 Part A.This study analyzed the impact of two mesoscale cyclones on the meteorology and glaciology of South Shetland Islands (SSI) glaciers, using in‐situ observations, ERA5 reanalysis data, and high‐resolution weather and glacier mass balance models. Mesoscale cyclones drive temperature drops, heavy snowfall, and strong winds over the SSI, significantly ...

Effects of the urban land use on a severe convective windstorm
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 773, October 2025 Part B.Numerical simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with the Building Effect Parametrization–Building Energy Model multilayer canopy model were conducted to investigate the impact of urban land use on a severe convective windstorm in Milan, northern Italy, on July 25, 2023.
