Polarimetric Radar Characteristics of Tornadogenesis Failure in Supercell Thunderstorms [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2021 Many nontornadic supercell storms have times when they appear to be moving toward tornadogenesis, including the development of a strong low-level vortex, but never end up producing a tornado.

Development and Deployment of Air-Launched Drifters from Small UAS [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Supercell thunderstorms can form extremely dangerous and destructive tornadoes. While high fidelity supercell simulations have increased the understanding of supercell mechanics to help determine how and when tornadoes form, there is a lack of targeted ...

Numerical Modeling and Analysis of the Effect of Complex Greek Topography on Tornadogenesis [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Tornadoes have been reported in Greece over recent decades in specific sub-geographical areas and have been associated with strong synoptic forcing. While it has been established that meteorological conditions over Greece are affected at various scales ...

Urbanization may enhance tornado potential: A single case report
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Tornadoes pose a risk of catastrophic economic loss and casualty in the United States. Modification of land use by urbanization alters the meteorological conditions that may impact tornado formation and intensification processes.

Dynamical Analyses of a Supercell Tornado in Eastern China Based on a Real-Data Simulation
Atmosphere, 2023 Tornadoes are extremely destructive natural disasters, and East China has become a high-incidence area for tornadoes in China in recent years. On 7 July 2013, an EF2-intensity tornado occurred in Gaoyou County, Jiangsu Province in eastern China, within a

Infrasound measurement system for real-time in situ tornado measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2022 Previous work suggests that acoustic waves at frequencies below human hearing (infrasound) are produced during tornadogenesis and continue through the life of a tornado, which have potential to locate and profile tornadic events and provide a range of ...
