Abstract: The high formation frequency and previously documented life cycle of Florida Keys' waterspouts result from energy and angular momentum cascades through five scales of atmospheric motion, namely the funnel, spiral, cumulus, ...

Abstract: Detailed, multi-faceted analyses show that waterspouts have a characteristic life cycle consisting of five discrete but overlapping stages: 1) the dark spot, a prominent light-colored disc on the sea surface surrounded by ...

Abstract: A major tornado struck the small farming community of Union City, Okla., on 24 May 1973. It was on the ground 26 min, attaining a maximum width (at cloud base) of nearly 600 m. Even though the funnel narrowed toward the ...

Abstract: The NSSL Tornado-Intercept Project team intercepted and photographed an intense tornado that struck Union City, Okla., on 24 May 1973. The life cycle of the tornado was photographically documented. Photo-grammetric data ...

Abstract: This paper describes afield program conducted by NOAA and the National Geographic Society in late August 1993 near Key West, Florida. The mission of the expedition was to obtain close-up photographic documentation of ...

Abstract: On 14 August 1977, there was a mini-outbreak of three tornadoes about 40 km cut of Denver, Colorado. There were no significant synoptic-scale disturbances affecting Colorado on that day. Mesoscale analysis is used to ...

Abstract: During September 1974 in the Lower Florida Keys, the first successful penetrations of mature waterspouts were accomplished by a specially instrumented research aircraft. Throughout the course of each penetration, the ...
