The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area in the northern Gulf of Mexico with a 30% chance of development over the next seven days.

A disturbance located about 100 miles offshore of the northeast Florida Coast could become a short-lived tropical depression ...

There is no recognizable spin (low pressure) at the surface shortly after landfall nor is there any upper level spin ...

While relatively weak compared to traditional tornadoes, landspouts can be strong enough to cause damage and warrant caution.

Monday morning’s tornado outbreak across the Carolinas was one to remember. At least 16 tornadoes have been confirmed across South Carolina alone, a number that could grow as National Weather ...

" This study builds on the team’s previous research within the PVC (Potential Vorticity Circulation) framework, which explores how air movements affect weather patterns.

Description: (EAS 422) A study of the general system of equations governing mass and momentum changes in the atmosphere; special horizontal wind representations; thermal wind relationships; ...

Because they all implicitly assume that a finite amplitude cyclonic circulation system with intense surface vorticity already exists.

This wild-looking video depicts a simulated thunderstorm spawning a tornado. The visualization illustrates how vorticity — which describes the spin of an air mass — aligns with the winds ...
