Kinematic, dynamic, and thermodynamic impacts of hook-echo hydrometeors, including explorations into the utilization of polarimetric radar data.
(2002)
The role hook-echo hydrometeors play in driving RFDs is investigated by estimating hook-echo hydrometeor types and amounts from polarimetric radar data and by using that information to drive a relatively simple downdraft ...
Surface thermodynamic characteristics of hook echoes and rear-flank downdrafts, with implications for tornado genesis and maintenance.
(2000)
Since its first documentation in 1953, the "hook echo" has been perhaps the best-recognized radar feature of supercell storms. Hook echoes have been associated with a region of subsiding air to the rear of both tornadic ...
Numerical simulations of cyclic storm behavior: Mesocyclogenesis and tornadogenesis.
(2003)
Building upon previous work that examined the dynamics and model sensitivity of cyclic mesocyclogenesis, this study uses idealized numerical simulations to investigate the cyclic redevelopment of vertical vortices in ...
A pseudo-dual-Doppler analysis of cyclic tornadogenesis.
(2000)
The goals of this study were twofold. The first was to determine a pseudo-dual-Doppler wind synthesis method in Cartesian coordinates appropriate for the analysis of the ELDORA data. Unique aspects of this part of the study ...
