    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VORTEX_projects

    VORTEX had the capability to fly Doppler weather radar above the tornado approximately every five minutes. [10] VORTEX research helped the National Weather Service (NWS) to provide tornado warnings to residents with a lead time of 13 minutes. [11]

  3. Tornado vortex signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_vortex_signature

    Strong mesocyclone on a thunderstorm near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, that was analyzed as fitting the characteristics of a TVS.It was associated with 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]

  4. Mesocyclone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesocyclone

    A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), also known as a mesoscale vorticity center or Neddy eddy, [9] is a mesocyclone within a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that pulls winds into a circling pattern, or vortex, at the mid levels of the troposphere and is normally associated with anticyclonic outflow aloft, with a region of aeronautically ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesovortex

    A mesocyclone from the Greensburg, Kansas tornado indicated on Doppler weather radar.. A mesocyclone is a type of mesovortex, approximately 1 to 10 km (0.6 to 6 mi) in diameter (the mesoscale of meteorology), within a convective storm. [6]

  6. Hook echo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_echo

    A hook echo is a pendant or hook-shaped weather radar signature as part of some supercell thunderstorms. It is found in the lower portions of a storm as air and precipitation flow into a mesocyclone, resulting in a curved feature of reflectivity. The echo is produced by rain, hail, or debris being wrapped around the supercell. [1]

    Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).
