Geophysical Research LettersTornadic tropical cyclones (TCs) in China occur at a similar frequency to those in the U.S., yet the number of TC tornadoes in China is only 16.5% of that in the U.S.

Geophysical Research LettersQuasi‐linear convective system (QLCS) mesovortices produce a non‐trivial fraction of tornadoes across the United States each year. Tornadoes from QLCS mesovortices evolve rapidly on time scales less than that observed by conventional weather radars.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and ComputationStudying the impacts of climate change on tornadoes remains challenging, partly because global climate models (GCMs) struggle to resolve the small‐scale atmospheric phenomena relevant to tornadogenesis.

Effects of microphysical drop size distribution on tornadogenesis in supercell thunderstorms [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 Idealized simulations of tornadogenesis in supercell storms are performed using a grid of 100 m spacing. The cold pool intensity and low‐level storm dynamics are found to be very sensitive to the intercept parameters of rain and hail drop size distributions (DSD). DSDs favoring smaller (larger) hydrometeors result in stronger (weaker) cold pools due to

Electrical Role for Severe Storm Tornadogenesis (and Modification) [PDF]
Journal of Climatology & Weather Forecasting, 2015 Damage from severe storms, particularly those involving significant lightning is increasing in the US. and abroad; and, increasingly, focus is on an electrical role for lightning in intra-cloud (IC) tornadogenesis. In the present report, emphasis is given to severe storm observations and especially to model descriptions relating to the subject.

Tornadogenesis by Nonprecipitation Induced Wind Shear Lines [PDF]
Monthly Weather Review, 1986 Abstract Five tornadoes occurred within a 40 min period on 18 May 1984 in eastern Colorado. The evolution of these tornadoes was documented by a single Doppler radar, research aircraft, mesonetwork and chase team. Three of these tornadoes were narrow (≈300 m), rotating dust columns extending from the surface to cloud base more than 5 km from the ...
