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 forward-flank convergence boundary (FFCB) in supercells has been well documented
in many observational and modeling studies. It is theorized that the FFCB is a focal point for …

Observational and modeling efforts have explored the formation and maintenance of
mesovortices, which contribute to severe hazards in quasi-linear convective systems …

Physical modeling is essential for developing the theory of concentrated, tornado-like
vortices. Physical modeling data are crucial for interpreting real tornado field measurements …

Although much is known about the environmental conditions necessary for supercell
tornadogenesis, the near-ground vorticity dynamics during the tornadogenesis process itself …

The Relative Importance of Updraft and Cold Pool Characteristics in Supercell
Tornadogenesis Using Highly Idealized Simulations in: Journal of the Atmospheric …

The skillful anticipation of tornadoes produced by quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs)
is a well-known forecasting challenge. This study was motivated by the possibility that …

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 …

Proximity soundings have long been used to explore how the vertical structure of
temperature, humidity, and winds influence convective storms and their associated hazards …

This study analyzes aboveground thermodynamic observations in three tornadic supercells
obtained via swarms of small balloon-borne sondes acting as pseudo-Lagrangian drifters; …
