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.

Tornadoes in Australia: are we prepared? [PDF]
, 2022 Australian summers are periods of extensive and severe weather events. This often includes rapid-onset events of intense rainfall, flooding, hail, damaging winds and, in some instances, reported tornadoes.

Trend Analysis of U. S. Tornado Activity Frequency
Atmosphere, 2022 As one of the most severe and high-impact weather phenomena, tornadoes and their long-term frequency trends have received lots of attention from both the scientific community and the public. Here, we show that over the last six decades (1954–2018), U.S. (

Comprehensive analysis of tornado statistics in comparison to earthquakes: intensity and temporal behaviour [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013 Tornadoes and earthquakes are characterised by a high variability in their properties concerning intensity, geometric properties and temporal behaviour. Earthquakes are known for power-law behaviour in their intensity (Gutenberg–Richter law) and temporal

Population Bias on Tornado Reports in Europe
Applied Sciences, 2021 Tornadoes are associated with damages, injuries, and even fatalities in Europe. Knowing the spatial distribution of tornadoes is essential for developing disaster risk reduction strategies.

Climatological occurrences of hail and tornadoes associated with mesoscale convective systems in the United States [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Hail and tornadoes are hazardous weather events responsible for significant property damage and economic loss worldwide. The most devastating occurrences of hail and tornadoes are commonly produced by supercells in the United States.

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.

Reconstruction of near-surface tornado wind fields from forest damage [PDF]
, 2010 Tornado intensity is usually inferred from the damage produced. To foster postevent tornado intensity assessments, the authors present a model to reconstruct near-surface wind fields from forest damage patterns. By comparing the structure of observed and
