Monthly Weather ReviewAbstract Despite decades of research, forecasters still lack the ability to consistently determine whether a given supercell in a tornado-favorable environment will undergo imminent tornadogenesis and, if so, anticipate the tornado’s peak intensity.

Numerical simulation of tornadogenesis [PDF]
, 1992 The CSU RAMS was used to investigate tornadogenesis using high resolution interactive nests to explicitly resolve the tornado. Convection was initiated with a warm bubble in a horizontally homogeneous environment using from a composite of soundings taken May 20, 1977, the day of the Del City tornado.

How Well Must Surface Vorticity Be Organized for Tornadogenesis?
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2023 Abstract This study investigates whether quasi-random surface vertical vorticity is sufficient for tornadogenesis when combined with an updraft typical of tornadic supercells. The viability of this pathway could mean that a coherent process to produce well-organized surface vertical vorticity is rather unimportant. Highly idealized simulations are used

Insights into tornadogenesis and tornado dynamics from idealized simulations [PDF]
, 2022 Research over the last decades has resulted in a robust understanding of many aspects of tornadoes, such as the environmental conditions necessary for storms with tornado potential and the complex dynamics of mature tornadoes.

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 ...

A Challenging Tornado Forecast in Slovakia
Atmosphere, 2020 An F1 tornado hit the village of Lekárovce in eastern Slovakia on the afternoon of 3 October 2018. The tornado, which occurred outside the main convective season in Slovakia, was not anticipated by the meteorologists of the Slovak Hydrometeorological ...
