Assessing the comparative effects of storm-relative helicity components within right-moving supercell environments

NA Goldacker, MD Parker - Journal of the Atmospheric …, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org
Supercell thunderstorms develop low-level rotation via tilting of environmental horizontal
vorticity (ω h) by the updraft. This rotation induces dynamic lifting that can stretch near …

Evolution of a long-track violent tornado within a simulated supercell

L Orf, R Wilhelmson, B Lee, C Finley… - Bulletin of the …, 2017 - journals.ametsoc.org
Tornadoes are among nature's most destructive forces. The most violent, long-lived
tornadoes form within supercell thunderstorms. Tornadoes ranked EF4 and EF5 on the …

Low-Level Z DR Signatures in Supercell Forward Flanks: The Role of Size Sorting and Melting of Hail

DT Dawson, ER Mansell, Y Jung… - Journal of the …, 2014 - journals.ametsoc.org
The low levels of supercell forward flanks commonly exhibit distinct differential reflectivity (Z
DR) signatures, including the low-Z DR hail signature and the high-Z DR “arc.” The Z DR arc …

The impacts of secondary ice production on microphysics and dynamics in tropical convection

Z Qu, A Korolev, JA Milbrandt, I Heckman… - Atmospheric …, 2022 - acp.copernicus.org
Secondary ice production (SIP) is an important physical phenomenon that results in an
increase in the ice particle concentration and can therefore have a significant impact on the …

Is there a “tipping point” between simulated nontornadic and tornadic supercells in VORTEX2 environments?

BE Coffer, MD Parker - Monthly Weather Review, 2018 - journals.ametsoc.org
Previous work has suggested that the lower-tropospheric wind profile may partly determine
whether supercells become tornadic. If tornadogenesis within the VORTEX2 composite …
