The Relationship between Automated Low-Level Velocity Calculations from the WSR-88D and Maximum Tornado Intensity Determined from Damage Surveys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship between automated low-level velocity derived from WSR-88D severe storm algorithms and two groups of tornado intensity were evaluated using a 4-yr climatology of 1975 tornado events spawned from 1655 supercells ...
The Relationship between Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Polarity and Surface Equivalent Potential Temperature during Three Tornadic Outbreaks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning polarity and surface equivalent potential temperature (?e) is examined for the 26 April 1991, Andover?Wichita, Kansas; the 13 March 1990, Hesston, Kansas; and the 28 ...
Tornado Intensity Estimation: Past, Present, and Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: e early to middle 2000s, in response to demand for more detail in wind damage surveying and recordkeeping, a team of atmospheric scientists and wind engineers developed the enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. The EF scale, codified ...
