Multiple Cyclic Tornado Production Modes in the 5 May 2007 Greensburg, Kansas Supercell Storm
(2011)
Long-track, violent tornadoes are rare events, but are responsible for a disproportionate majority of tornado fatalities, injuries, and property damage. It has been observed that such tornadoes are often generated as part ...
Estimation of Near Surface Tornadic Wind Speeds
(2011)
Modeling studies consistently demonstrate that the most violent winds in a tornadic vortex occur in the lowest tens of meters above the surface. These velocities are unobservable by radar platforms due to line of sight ...
ON THE FURTHER STUDIES OF SUITABLE STORM-SCALE 3DVAR DATA ASSIMILATION FOR THE PREDICTION OF TORNADIC THUNDERSTORMS
(2011)
Storm-scale 3DVAR data assimilation and NWP for the prediction of tornadic supercell thunderstorms still faces many challenges. Some fundamental issues are still not thoroughly (or explicitly) investigated. To name a few: ...

Mesocyclone and Microphysical Evolution in Simulated Supercell Storms with Varying Wind and Moisture Profiles
(2011)
As a high-impact convective mode, supercell thunderstorms have frequently been studied observationally and numerically. Two areas of study have focused on understanding mesocyclone evolution given a varying environmental ...
