Relationships Between Radar-Derived Thermodynamic Variables and Tornadogenesis

Monthly Weather Review, 1984
Abstract A methodology for obtaining pressure perturbations and buoyancy in thunderstorms observed with Doppler radar is described and applied to two tornadic thunderstorms. Extracted thermodynamic information is combined with kinematic analyses to study observed severe storm processes. The intensification of tornado parental circulations (mesocyclones)

Entropic Balance Theory and Variational Field Lagrangian Formalism: Tornadogenesis

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2014
Abstract The entropic balance theory has been applied with outstanding results to explain many important aspects of tornadic phenomena. The theory was originally developed in variational (probabilistic) field Lagrangian formalism, or in short, variational formalism, with Lagrangian density and action appropriate for supercell-storm and ...

Observations of a Colorado Tornado. Part I: Mesoscale Environment and Tornadogenesis

Monthly Weather Review, 1992
Abstract On 2 July 1987 a nonmesocyclone tornado was observed in northeastern Colorado during the Convection Initiation and Downburst Experiment (CINDE). This tornado, reaching FI–F2 intensity, developed under a rapidly growing convective cell, without a preceding supercell or midlevel mesocyclone being present.
