Examining Environmental Conditions, Storm-scale Characteristics, and Tornado Potential in Observed and Simulated Supercell Thunderstorms
(2020-07-30)
Despite advancements in our understanding of supercell thunderstorms, numerous questions remain regarding relationships between their environment, storm-scale characteristics, and tornado potential. In particular, quantifying ...
The Effects of Terrain on an Idealized Tornado using a Large-Eddy Simulation
(2019-08-01)
Tornado structure is known to be sensitive to the characteristics of near-surface inflow, which in turn is affected by inhomogeneities in surface features. Many observational studies such as VORTEX-SE have identified ...
Investigating Arctic Cyclone-Tropopause Polar Vortex Interactions with Observing System Simulation Experiments
(2023-05-12)
Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are upper-level cyclonic circulations that are common in high latitudes. TPVs most directly impact weather at the surface by providing baroclinic forcing for the development of Arctic ...
