A Study Of The Electrical, Microphysical, And Kinematic Properties Of The 29 May 2012 Kingfisher Supercell
(2014)
A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, OK on 29 May 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds & Chemistry (DC3) experiment. This storm produced 5” hail, an EF-1 tornado, and ...
Impacts of Extratropical Transition on Tropical Cyclone Tornado Occurrence
(2023-08-04)
Tornadoes that spawn from tropical cyclones (TCs) pose a threat to lives and property. Although nearly half of TCs in the Atlantic Ocean undergo extratropical transition, there has only been one study investigating how ...
Mesovortex-Induced Tornadoes: A Case Study of the 13 April 2018 Northwest Louisiana Quasi-Linear Convective System
(2022-12-16)
Mesoscale-gamma circulations occurring along the leading edge of Quasi-Linear Convective Systems (QLCS), and their propensity to produce tornadoes and straight-line wind damage has long been noted in literature. Furthermore, ...
Examining Meteorological Benefits of Rapid-Scan, Dual-Polarization, All-Digital Phased Array Radar Observations for Detecting Tornado Formation and Intensification
(2022-08-04)
Phased array radar (PAR) is widely considered the future for a replacement to the current operational radar network, NEXRAD. In particular, an all-digital operational PAR network offers a range of benefits including adaptive ...
Analysis of Tornadic Supercells Using Two Rapid-Scan, Mobile Doppler Radars
(2021-08)
Mobile Doppler radar is a critical tool in studying microscale phenomena, including tornadoes, in supercell thunderstorms at close-range. However, a relative dearth of high-quality cases documenting the tornadic life cycle ...
Tornado proximity soundings from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data
(2002)
Thermodynamic soundings have been constructed from the reanalysis dataset produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). This was done to expand ...
An Investigation Between Tornadic and Non-Tornadic QLCS Mesovortices using Operational and Experimental MRMS Products
(2023-08-04)
Quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) tornadoes have become an active area of research over the last several years. Through numerical simulations, it is theorized that QLCS vortex formation occurs near the surface in a ...
