VORTEX projects. NSSL mobile mesonet vehicles of the first Project VORTEX, equipped with surface measurement equipment. The V erification of the O rigins of R otation in T ornadoes Ex periment (or VORTEX) are field experiments that study tornadoes. VORTEX1 was the first time scientists completely researched the entire evolution of a tornado ...
A tornadic vortex signature, abbreviated TVS, is a Pulse-Doppler radar weather radar detected rotation algorithm that indicates the likely presence of a strong mesocyclone that is in some stage of tornadogenesis. [1] It may give meteorologists the ability to pinpoint and track the location of tornadic rotation within a larger storm, and is one ...
Raymond Pierrehumbert. Fred Sanders. Joshua Michael Aaron Ryder Wurman (born October 1, 1960) is an American atmospheric scientist and inventor noted for tornado, tropical cyclone, and weather radar research, the invention of DOW and bistatic radar multiple-Doppler networks.
The 2013 El Reno tornado was an extremely large, powerful, and erratic tornado [a] that occurred over rural areas of Central Oklahoma during the early evening of Friday, May 31, 2013. This rain-wrapped, multiple-vortex tornado was the widest tornado ever recorded and was part of a larger weather system that produced dozens of tornadoes over the ...
Nevertheless, the El Reno tornado is one of the two strongest tornadoes ever recorded in terms of maximum wind speeds, the other being the 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado which doppler radar measured 321 miles per hour (517 km/h) mph, later revised to 301±20 mph. The 1997 Jarrell tornado was a multiple vortex tornado. The infamous “Dead ...
More than a dozen tornadoes touched down in the state that day. While most everyone in the area hunkered in basements, a team of nine scientists — storm chasers — sought to get as close as ...
A tornadic debris signature (TDS), often colloquially referred to as a debris ball, [1] is an area of high reflectivity on weather radar caused by debris lofting into the air, usually associated with a tornado. [1] [2] A TDS may also be indicated by dual-polarization radar products, designated as a polarimetric tornado debris signature (PTDS).
Radar loop from KDVN on the afternoon of June 16, 2024, depicting a strong mesoscale convective vortex with a clear eye. A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) is a low-pressure center within a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that pulls winds into a circling pattern, or vortex.
