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 ...

Tornadic Storm over the Foothills of Central Nepal Himalaya
MeteorologyOn the evening of 31 March 2019, Parsa and Bara Districts in central Nepal were severely hit by a wind storm which was the first documented tornadic incidence in Nepal.In this paper, we investigate the background of the tornado formation via numerical ...

An electric force facilitator in descending vortex tornadogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2008 We present a novel explanation of the physical processes behind one type of cloud and ground‐level tornadogenesis within a supercell. We point out that the charge separation naturally found in these large thunderstorms can potentially serve to contract the preexisting angular momentum through the additional process of the electric force.

A study of the 23 October 2022 southern England damaging MCS
Weather, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 324-334, October 2025.During the afternoon of 23 October 2022, a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed and intensified over the English Channel and tracked north‐northeastward into southern England, producing widespread damaging winds and at least three moderate to strong tornadoes in Hampshire.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract Monin‐Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is widely used in numerical weather prediction to model surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and water vapor. However, MOST is based on assumptions of steady state and horizontally homogeneous turbulence that can lead to prediction errors in and around convective storms.

Cloudbursts of the Mid‐Atlantic
Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Extreme short‐duration rainfall in the Mid‐Atlantic region of the US is examined through polarimetric radar analyses of storms that produced rainfall accumulations exceeding 1,000‐year values for time scales less than 3 hr. Polarimetric radar analyses of Mid‐Atlantic cloudbursts focus on dynamical processes associated with updrafts and ...

Rain in convective downdraughts
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 768, April 2025 Part A.This study presents results from the simulation of idealised, rain‐laden downdraughts using the large‐eddy model MONC. It is found that a drier environment has the effect of increasing cooling in the downdraught, but reducing the peak in downdraught speed.
