A diagram showing the contributing weather systems to Tornado Alley in the United States, a loosely-defined area that is prone to tornadoes. Tornadogenesis is the process by which a tornado forms. There are many types of tornadoes, varying in methods of formation.
The largest tornado ever documented was a multiple-vortex tornado. It struck El Reno, Oklahoma, on May 31, 2013, as a rain-wrapped tornado, taking the lives of tornado researcher Tim Samaras, his son Paul, and their TWISTEX colleague, Carl Young. This storm also took the life of local amateur chaser, Richard Henderson. [2]
A multiple-vortex tornado is a type of tornado in which two or more columns of spinning air rotate about their own axes and at the same time revolve around a common center. A multi-vortex structure can occur in almost any circulation, but is very often observed in intense tornadoes.
Some of the most notorious twisters in U.S. history were wedge tornadoes, including the EF5 that leveled Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011, and the El Reno tornado, which was a jaw-dropping 2.6 ...
A line echo wave pattern (LEWP) is a weather radar formation in which a single line of thunderstorms presenting multiple bow echoes forms south (or equatorward) of a mesoscale low-pressure area with a rotating "head". [1] LEWP often are associated with a multiple-bow serial derecho [2] and often produce tornadoes, some of which can be strong. [3]
Tornado outbreak of June 2, 1998; Tornado outbreak of June 13, 1998; Corn Belt derecho; Hurricane Georges tornado outbreak; 1998 Oklahoma tornado outbreak; Tornadoes of 1999. Tornado outbreak of January 17–18, 1999; Tornado outbreak of January 21–23, 1999; Tornado outbreak of April 2–3, 1999; Tornado outbreak of April 8–9, 1999; 1999 ...
Then we'd work out the choreography, and then the particle team would take that information and use very elaborate simulation engines to get the basic path of the tornado and deal with its effect ...
Completed Tornado Diagram. Tornado diagrams, also called tornado plots, tornado charts or butterfly charts, are a special type of Bar chart, where the data categories are listed vertically instead of the standard horizontal presentation, and the categories are ordered so that the largest bar appears at the top of the chart, the second largest appears second from the top, and so on.
