Abstract: Rotors are small-scale circulations about a horizontal or quasi-horizontal axis that usually form in conjunction with high-amplitude mountain waves. The moderate to severe turbulence often found within rotors is a hazard ...

Abstract: This study involves observations and model simulations of potential vorticity anomalies in the wake of midlatitude squall lines. Using data from the Oklahoma?Kansas PRE-STORM experiment, we analyze potential vorticity ...

Abstract: The generation and organization of mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) is a recurring theme in midlatitude and tropical meteorology during the warm season. In this work a simulation of a finite-length idealized convective ...
