Observations of Nontornadic Low-Level Mesocyclones and Attendant Tornadogenesis Failure during VORTEXSource: Monthly Weather Review:;1999:;volume( 127 ):;issue: 007::page 1693Author:Trapp, R. J.

Abstract: Three storms intercepted during the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment generated a moderate-to-strong mesocyclone within the lowest several hundred meters above the ground and qualitatively appeared capable of tornadogenesis, yet did not produce a tornado. Such novel observations of what is considered?tornadogenesis failure? are documented and used to show the insufficiency of a low-level mesocyclone for tornadogenesis. Possible modes of failure are discussed.
