The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a collective quantum phenomenon that arises from the
interplay between gauge field topology and fermion chiral anomaly, encompassing a wide …

Lasting updrafts are necessary to produce severe hail; conventional wisdom suggests that
extremely large hailstones require updrafts of commensurate strength. Because updraft …

Hailstorms pose a significant socioeconomic risk, necessitating detailed assessments of
how the hail threat changes throughout their lifetimes. Hail production involves the favorable …

Modes of Storm-Scale Variability and Tornado Potential in VORTEX2 Near- and Far-Field
Tornadic Environments in: Monthly Weather Review Volume 148 Issue 10 (2020) Jump to …

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 …

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

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

Tornadogenesis Using Highly Idealized Simulations in: Journal of the Atmospheric …

This research investigates a hypothesis posed by previous authors, which argues that the
helical nature of the flow in supercell updrafts makes them more resistant to entrainment …
