RISA Multiscale Overview of the El Reno, Oklahoma, Tornadic Supercell of 31 May 2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 31 May 2013 a broad, intense, cyclonic tornado and a narrower, weaker companion anticyclonic tornado formed in a supercell in central Oklahoma. This paper discusses the synoptic- and mesoscale environment in which the ...
Doppler Radar Observations of Anticyclonic Tornadoes in Cyclonically Rotating, Right-Moving Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: upercells dominated by mesocyclones, which tend to propagate to the right of the tropospheric pressure-weighted mean wind, on rare occasions produce anticyclonic tornadoes at the trailing end of the rear-flank gust front. ...
A Mobile Rapid-Scanning X-band Polarimetric (RaXPol) Doppler Radar System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: novel, rapid-scanning, X-band (3-cm wavelength), polarimetric (RaXPol), mobile radar was developed for severe-weather research. The radar employs a 2.4-m-diameter dual-polarized parabolic dish antenna on a high-speed ...
Mobile, X-band, Polarimetric Doppler Radar Observations of the 4 May 2007 Greensburg, Kansas, Tornadic Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 4 May 2007, a supercell produced an EF-5 tornado that severely damaged the town of Greensburg, Kansas. Volumetric data were collected in the ?Greensburg storm? by the University of Massachusetts X-band, mobile, polarimetric ...
Tornadogenesis and Early Tornado Evolution in the El Reno, Oklahoma, Supercell on 31 May 2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study documents the formation and part of the early evolution of a large, violent tornado near El Reno, Oklahoma, based on data from a mobile, polarimetric, rapid scan, X-band, Doppler radar. The main circulation ...
The Multiple-Vortex Structure of the El Reno, Oklahoma, Tornado on 31 May 2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study documents the formation and evolution of secondary vortices associated within a large, violent tornado in Oklahoma based on data from a close-range, mobile, polarimetric, rapid-scan, X-band Doppler radar. ...
Statistical and Empirical Relationships between Tornado Intensity and Both Topography and Land Cover Using Rapid-Scan Radar Observations and a GIS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents an investigation into relationships among topographic elevation, surface land cover, and tornado intensity using rapid scan, mobile Doppler radar observations of four tornadoes from the U.S. Central ...
A comparison of the fine-scale structures of a prefrontal wind-shift line and a strong cold front in the Southern Plains of the U. S.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objectives of this study are to determine the fine-scale characteristics of the wind and temperature fields associated with a prefrontal wind-shift line and to contrast them with those associated with a strong cold ...
Observations of the Boundary Layer near Tornadoes and in Supercells Using a Mobile, Collocated, Pulsed Doppler Lidar and Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the Second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2), in the spring of 2010, a mobile and pulsed Doppler lidar system [the Truck-Mounted Wind Observing Lidar Facility (TWOLF)] mounted ...
Applications of a Spatially Variable Advection Correction Technique for Temporal Correction of Dual-Doppler Analyses of Tornadic Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn many instances, synchronization of Doppler radar data among multiple platforms for multiple-Doppler analysis is challenging. This study describes the production of dual-Doppler wind analyses from several case ...
