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 ...
Integrated role of the urban canopy on turbulent transfer with the roughness sub-layer from observations
(2011)
About 50% of the world population nowadays lives in urban areas. With the fast growing trends of urbanization, understanding meteorological processes in such environments is rapidly gaining importance. A complex process ...
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 ...
Assimilation of CASA and WSR-88D Radar Data for Tornadic Convective Storms using an Ensemble Kalman Filter and Applications in Probabilistic Ensemble Forecasting
(2011)
Two sets of experiments are performed to examine the ability of a storm-scale numerical weather prediction (NWP) model to predict precipitation and meso-vortices within the tornadic mesoscale convective system (MCS) that ...
