Mathematical modeling is the most important tool for constructing the theory of concentrated
tornado-like vortices. A review and analysis of computational and theoretical works devoted …

The scientific community has long acknowledged the importance of high-temporal-resolution
radar observations to advance science research and improve high-impact weather …

Sufficient low-level storm-relative flow is a necessary ingredient for sustained supercell
thunderstorms and is connected to supercell updraft width. Assuming a supercell exists, the …

The development and intensification of low-level mesocyclones in supercell thunderstorms
have often been attributed, at least in part, to augmented streamwise vorticity generated …

It has long been observed that interactions of a supercell with other storms or storm-scale
boundaries sometimes seem to directly instigate tornadogenesis. First, the authors explore …

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 …

Despite their structural differences, supercells and quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS)
are both capable of producing severe weather, including tornadoes. Previous research has …

A simulation of a supercell storm produced for a prior study on tornado predictability is
reanalyzed for the purpose of examining the fine-scale details of tornadogenesis. It is found …

This case study analyzes a tornadic supercell observed in northeast Louisiana as part of the
Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment Southeast (VORTEX-SE) on …

Surface boundaries in supercells have been suspected of being important in the
arrangement and concentration of vorticity for the development and intensification of …
