Axisymmetric Tornado Simulations with a Semi-Slip Boundary

open access: yesFluids, 2017
The structure of natural tornadoes and simulated analogs are sensitive to the lower boundary condition for friction. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of storms require a choice for turbulence parameterizations and resolution of wind near the lower

An analytical model of tornado generation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Fluids, Vol. 36, Issue 8, 086607 (2024)
A new analytical model for the generation of axisymmetric tornado-type vortices has been developed. A solution to the nonlinear equation for the stream function in an unstable stratified atmosphere is obtained and analyzed within the framework of ideal hydrodynamics.

Observations of Severe Local Storms and Tornadoes with the Atmospheric Imaging Radar

open access: yes, 2015
Mobile radar platforms designed for observation of severe local storms have consistently pushed the boundaries of spatial and temporal resolution in order to allow for detailed analysis of storm structure and evolution.

Double Impact: When Both Tornadoes and Flash Floods Threaten the Same Place at the Same Time

open access: yes, 2015
While both tornadoes and flash floods individually present public hazards, when the two threats are both concurrent and collocated (referred to here as TORFF events), unique concerns arise.

A buoyant tornado-probe concept incorporating an inverted lifting device [PDF]

open access: yes
Addition of an inverted lifting device to a simple balloon probe is shown to make possible low-altitude entry to tornado cores with easier launch conditions than for the simple balloon probe.

Topological Surgery in Nature

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we extend the formal definition of topological surgery by introducing new notions in order to model natural phenomena exhibiting it. On the one hand, the common features of the presented natural processes are captured by our schematic ...

Tornado Occurrence in the United States as Modulated by Multidecadal Oceanic Oscillations Using Empirical Model Decomposition

open access: yesAtmosphere
Studies have analyzed U.S. tornado variability and correlated F1–F5 tornado occurrence with various natural climate oscillations and anthropogenic factors. Using a relatively new empirical mode decommission (EMD) method that extracts time-frequency modes

Die Bedeutung von Johannes P. Letzmanns „Richtlinien zur Erforschung von Tromben, Tornados, Wasserhosen und Kleintromben“ für die heutige Tornadoforschung

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2000
Die vor wenigen Jahren wiederentdeckten Richtlinien Johannes Letzmanns zur Trombenbeobachtung, -erfassung und -klimatologie von 1937, ihrer Zeit um mehrere Jahrzehnte voraus, werden im Kontext der heutigen Tornadoforschung bewertet.

Constructing an efficient machine learning model for tornado prediction [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Tornado prediction methods and main mechanisms of tornado genesis were analyzed. A model, based on the superposition principle, has been built. For efficiency evaluation, the constructed model has been tested on real-life data obtained from the University of Oklahoma (USA).
