Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract On the afternoon of 5 July 2024, under the influence of an extratropical cyclone, a rare triple‐tornado event struck Heze City, Shandong Province, comprising the Dongming tornado (EF3), the Juancheng tornado (EF2), and the Yuncheng tornado (EF3). These tornadoes resulted in five fatalities and substantial economic damage.

Tornadogenesis with and without a Dynamic Pipe Effect
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1997 Abstract A dynamic pipe effect (DPE) has been used previously to explain the descent from aloft of tornadic vortex signatures (TVSs), and presumably embryonic tornadoes, prior to the near-ground spinup of the tornado. But for many tornadoes the TVS appears to form simultaneously over a depth spanning the lowest few kilometers. A numerical model is used

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Structural characteristics of an EF4 tornado in Funing were reproduced through numerical simulation with a hectometer‐scale resolution. Results demonstrate that the tornado initiated in the mid‐ to upper‐levels, with the stretching term of the vorticity equation playing a dominant role throughout its development. ABSTRACT Tornadoes are characterized by

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.

Tornadogenesis And Tornadogenesis Failure In Numerically Simulated Supercells [PDF]
, 2012 Simulations were performed in an idealized cloud model to study the processes responsible for tornadogenesis and tornadogenesis failure. The simulations were initialized with supercell proximity soundings taken from the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model ...

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.

Tornado environments derived from ERA5 over Indonesia
Geoscience LettersTropical maritime regions, such as Indonesia, experience tornadoes. However, the tornado environment in Indonesia remains poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed convective and kinematic parameters associated with 119 tornado cases from 2010 to ...

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 ...
