MetPy is an open-source, Python-based package for meteorology, providing domain-
specific functionality built extensively on top of the robust scientific Python software stack …

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 …

Over the last decade, supercell simulations and observations with ever increasing resolution
have provided new insights into the vortex-scale processes of tornado formation. This article …

Results from a large eddy simulation of a tornadic supercell developing in a horizontally
homogeneous environment are presented which clearly illustrate a connection between low …

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 …

Vertical wind shear is known to affect supercell thunderstorms by displacing updraft
hydrometeor mass downshear, thereby facilitating the storms' longevity. Shear also impacts …

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

This study aims to objectively identify storm-scale characteristics associated with tornado-
like vortex (TLV) formation in an ensemble of high-resolution supercell simulations. An …
