Two Solar Tornadoes Observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph

open access: yes, 2017
The barbs or legs of some prominences show an apparent motion of rotation, which are often termed solar tornadoes. It is under debate whether the apparent motion is a real rotating motion, or caused by oscillations or counter-streaming flows.

Solar Magnetized "Tornadoes": Relation to Filaments

open access: yes, 2012
Solar magnetized "tornadoes", a phenomenon discovered in the solar atmosphere, appear as tornado-like structures in the corona but root in the photosphere.

Infrasound and Low-Audible Acoustic Detections from a Long-Term Microphone Array Deployment in Oklahoma

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
A three-microphone acoustic array (OSU1), with microphones that have a flat response from 0.1 to 200 Hz, was deployed for 6 years (2016–2022) at Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and sampled at 1000 Hz.

Tornadoes in a Microchannel

open access: yes, 2008
In non-dilute colloidal suspensions, gradients in particle volume fraction result in gradients in electrical conductivity and permittivity. An externally applied electric field couples with gradients in electrical conductivity and permittivity and, under

From fire whirls to blue whirls and combustion with reduced pollution. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fire whirls are powerful, spinning disasters for people and surroundings when they occur in large urban and wildland fires. Whereas fire whirls have been studied for fire-safety applications, previous research has yet to harness their potential burning ...

An Analysis of Anomalous Winter and Spring Tornado Frequency by Phase of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation, the Global Wind Oscillation, and the Madden-Julian Oscillation

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2018
Winter and spring tornado activity tends to be heightened during the La Niña phase of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and suppressed during the El Niño phase.

On the magnetism and dynamics of prominence legs hosting tornadoes

open access: yes, 2016
Solar tornadoes are dark vertical filamentary structures observed in the extreme ultraviolet associated with prominence legs and filament barbs. Their true nature and relationship to prominences requires understanding their magnetic structure and dynamic

Wind Speed Estimates for Garage Door Failures in Tornadoes

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2019
Severe wind events, such as tornadoes, pose a significant threat to lives and infrastructure in many locations around the world. Residential buildings are the structures most affected by these events, since they are widespread and often not designed to ...

Satellite-Based Study and Numerical Forecasting of Two Tornado Outbreaks in the Ural Region in June 2017

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
Strong tornadoes are common for the European part of Russia but happen rather rare east of the Urals. June 2017 became an exceptional month when two tornado outbreaks occurred in the Ural region of Russia, yielded $3 million damage, and resulted in 1 ...

Applications of vortex gas models to tornadogenesis and maintenance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Processes related to the production of vorticity in the forward and rear flank downdrafts and their interaction with the boundary layer are thought to play a role in tornadogenesis.
