Calm before the storm: Comparing the initial stages of tornadic vs. non-tornadic supercells [PDF]

, 2019
Supercells are one of the most dramatic displays of weather in Oklahoma, and it is from this type of storm that the majority of tornadoes are produced. But while most tornados are produced by supercells, not every supercell storm produces tornadoes. Many

Synthesis of Ti2B2Clx MBenes in Molten Salts From Theoretical and Experimental Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By integrating a theoretical framework with experiments, Ti2InB2 was selectively etched with ZnCl2 to produce a multilayer (ml) Ti2B2Clx MBene. The In atoms are completely removed, with simultaneous incorporation of chlorine surface terminations. in situ x‐ray diffraction indicates a direct biphasic transformation from Ti2InB2 to ml‐MBene, with no ...

Radar-Detected Mesocyclone Tilt in Tornadic and Nontornadic Supercells [PDF]

, 2019
While supercell thunderstorms are the storms with the greatest potential of producing tornadoes, the majority of supercells do not produce tornadoes. Recent work has demonstrated that low-level (LL) vertical wind shear and lifting condensation level (LCL)

Observations of Extreme Short-Term Precipitation Associated with Supercells and Mesovortices

Monthly Weather Review, 2016
Extreme hourly rainfall accumulations (e.g., exceeding 75 mm h−1) in several noteworthy flash flood events have suggested that the most intense accumulations were attendant with discrete mesoscale rotation or rotation embedded within larger organized ...

On the Predictability of Supercell Thunderstorm Evolution

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2013
Abstract Supercell thunderstorms produce a disproportionate amount of the severe weather in the United States, and accurate prediction of their movement and evolution is needed to warn the public of their hazards. This study explores the practical predictability of supercell thunderstorm forecasts in the presence of typical errors in the

Basis‐Independent Geometric Phase Modulation in Circularly Birefringent Plasmonic Structures

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Here we introduce a plasmonic metasurface composed of spatially rotated chiral spiral unit cells designed to produce space‐variant circular retardance. This generates a geometric phase ramp equivalent to a blazed grating, leading to polarization dependent diffraction orders in momentum space.

Radar Precursors to Severe Weather Reports in Left-moving Supercells [PDF]

While much research has examined dual-polarimetric signatures of right-moving supercells, very little has been done with left-moving supercells. Given that left-moving supercells are thought to be disproportionate producers of large hail, understanding ...

Phase Diagrams and Piezoelectric Properties of Wurtzite Al1−x−yScxGdyN Heterostructural Alloys

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates ferroelectricity and piezoelectric properties improvement of quaternary wurtzite Al1−x−yScxGdyN${\rm Al}_{1-x-y}{\rm Sc}_x{\rm Gd}_y{\rm N}$ films, guided by density functional theory calculations. Wurtzite Al1−x−yScxGdyN${\rm Al}_{1-x-y}{\rm Sc}_x{\rm Gd}_y{\rm N}$ films have a high optical bandgap, enhanced piezoelectric ...

Polarimetric Radar Signatures in Significant Severe Left-moving Supercells [PDF]

Left-moving (LM) supercells, though rarer than right-moving (RM) supercells, may produce significant severe weather. However, there are very few existing studies on LM supercells, particularly polarimetric radar analyses.

Synergistic Spin‐Polarization and Single‐Atom Engineering in Magnetic Heterojunctions for Efficient Solar Water Splitting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput screening led to the identification of 67 Z‐scheme heterojunctions (comprising 2D magnetic transition metal halides and non‐magnetic transition metal chalcogenides). For CrI3/MoTe2 and CrI3/WTe2, electronic structure analysis demonstrated that synergistic crystallographic point group and built‐in electric field effects generate a ...
