Türkiye’de Hortumların Sinoptik Desen Sınıflamaları
Coğrafi Bilimler Dergisi, 2023 Tornadoes, which are among the sudden natural disasters of meteorological origin, have caused loss of life and property in Turkey in recent years. They are difficult to predict because they happen in a short time. In studies where the synoptic conditions

A solar tornado observed by EIS: Plasma diagnostics [PDF]
A&A 582, A27 (2015), 2015 The term `solar tornadoes' has been used to describe apparently rotating magnetic structures above the solar limb, as seen in high resolution images and movies from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). These often form part of the larger magnetic structure of a prominence, however the links between them ...

Impacts of urban heat islands on strong tornadoes [PDF]
, 2015 This illustrative analysis of urban heat islands (URIs) and nearby tornadoes aims to provide insight into the possibility of UHIs interacting with tornadoes/tornadic storms.

Damage Analysis of Three Long-Track Tornadoes Using High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
Atmosphere, 2020 Remote sensing of tornado damage can provide valuable observations for post-event surveys and reconstructions. The tornadoes of 3 March 2019 in the southeastern United States are an ideal opportunity to relate high-resolution satellite imagery of damage ...

arXiv, 2010 It is shown that one of the causes for tornado is Tornado Lift. At increasing vortex diameter its kinetic energy decreases to keep the moment of momentum constant. A kinetic energy gradient of such vortex is Tornado Lift. Evaluation shows that contribution of Tornado Lift in air lifting in a tornado is comparable to buoyancy according to the order of ...

Tornadoes in Europe: Synthesis of the Observational Datasets
, 2016 A synthesis of tornado observations across Europe between 1800 and 2014 is used to produce a pan-European climatology. Based on regional tornado-occurrence datasets and articles published in peer-reviewed journals, the evolution and the major ...

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

Tornadoes in the Moldavian Plateau – Between Myth and Reality
Present Environment and Sustainable Development, 2017 All those who spent our holidays in the countryside to our gradparents or relatives, we heard about the elders’ stories about storms that rained frogs and fish. I also remember such a story that occured in the villages of Covasna river basin in 1970. The

Tornadoes and related damage costs: statistical modeling with a semi-Markov approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We propose a statistical approach to tornadoes modeling for predicting and simulating occurrences of tornadoes and accumulated cost distributions over a time interval. This is achieved by modeling the tornadoes intensity, measured with the Fujita scale, as a stochastic process.
