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 ...

A dynamic and thermodynamic analysis of the 11 December 2017 tornadic supercell in the Highveld of South Africa [PDF]
Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2021 On 11 December 2017, a tornadic supercell initiated and moved through the northern Highveld region of South Africa for 7 h. A tornado from this supercell led to extensive damage to infrastructure and caused injury to and displacement of over 1000 people ...

DOW radar studies of the mechanisms for tornadogenesis, maintenance, and dissipation
Case studies of tornadic storms have shown the importance of various sub-storm scale structures, including in updrafts/downdrafts and associated convergence/divergence regions in tornadogenesis and intensification. But, the existence of the features alone is not sufficient for tornadogenesis.
