Spatial–temporal clustering of tornadoes [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
The standard measure of the intensity of a tornado is the Enhanced Fujita scale, which is based qualitatively on the damage caused by a tornado. An alternative measure of tornado intensity is the tornado path length, L.

Forecasting tropical cyclone tornadoes and impacts: Report from IWTC-X

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2023
This report synthesizes global tropical cyclone (TC) tornado research and operational practices to date. Tornadoes are one of the secondary (and lesser researched) hazards contributing to the devastation TCs leave in their wake.

Spatial Distributions of Tropical Cyclone Tornadoes by Intensity and Size Characteristics

Atmosphere, 2017
Tropical cyclones that make landfall often spawn tornadoes. Previous studies have shown that these tornadoes are not uniformly distributed in the United States or in the tropical cyclone environment.

Characteristics of Extratropical Cyclones That Cause Tornadoes in Italy: A Preliminary Study

Atmosphere, 2021
Characteristics of extratropical cyclones that cause tornadoes in Italy are investigated. Tornadoes between 2007 and 2016 are analyzed, and statistical analysis of the associated cyclone structures and environments is performed using the JRA-55 ...
