Mesocyclones

The dry line often but not always serves as the dynamical forcing to trigger thunderstorms in capped environments, which then sometimes go on to develop mesocyclones which sometimes produce tornadoes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Richard had been collecting some research data to prive a-- prove a theory he had about electromagnetic fields in mesocyclones and tornado genesis. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In some cases, mesocyclones can overshoot the top of the storm and form a cloud dome (Figure 7). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Scientists speculate that mesocyclones form when strong horizontal upper air winds interact with normally occurring updrafts. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Fujita and Tepper called the miniature low-pressure systems mesocyclones, a counterclockwise swirl beneath powerful storms. ❋ Nancy Mathis (2007)

He began a painstaking two-year process that invented photogrammetry for tornado studies, detailed and named the cloud structure within the storm, and provided initial clues on the formation of tornadoes within mesocyclones. ❋ Nancy Mathis (2007)

Fujita, with his cartography skills, was able not only to explain but also to diagram the mesolows, mesohighs, and mesocyclones, the word meso indicating those weather systems up to 250 miles wide. ❋ Nancy Mathis (2007)

RE: #2 – So stable, in fact, that the count padders are scraping the bottom of the barrel, naming cut off lows, occluded fronts and mesocyclones. ❋ Unknown (2007)

COOPER: That triggered super cell thunderstorms, sometimes spawning mesocyclones. ❋ Unknown (2007)

COOPER: That triggered supercell thunderstorms, sometimes spawning mesocyclones. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Radar summary charts indicate potential weather hazards, such as tornadic vortex signatures and mesocyclones, within a planned route for a proactive approach to changing operational conditions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The heating of steering winds to help shove around mesocyclones and hurricanes, as well as controlling electrical conductivity of the atmosphere is also on his investigative agenda. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Computer simulations of mesocyclones use steering wind input data to predict severe storm development. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The two encountered rapidly rotating mesocyclones with classic structure.
