AtticaFanatica Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The first VORTEX2 peer-reviewed publication is out in Monthly Weather Review: Wakimoto, Roger M., Nolan T. Atkins, Joshua Wurman, 2011: The LaGrange Tornado during VORTEX2. Part I: Photogrammetric Analysis of the Tornado Combined with Single-Doppler Radar Data. Mon. Wea. Rev., 139, 2233–2258. Link. Also, there were several talks at the Radar Conference discussing V2 results. The session "Results from VORTEX-II Part II" mostly discusses the LaGrange/Goshen County tornado from 6/5/09, which was probably the most fully integrated V2 dataset. Most of the talks have links to the recorded presentations (audio and visual). I particularly recommend Paul Markowski's talk, which discusses some surprising results about the pre-tornadic environment. Link The session "Results from VORTEX-II Part I" deals with other cases and some general overviews of data collection. Link. Also, some talks are accompanied by manuscripts you can read, which tend to go into more detail than the 12-15 minute talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtticaFanatica Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Kind of wish you could hear Josh discuss his presentation. It was a fill-in talk, so it was just a general overview of some data collection, nothing specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFanatica Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 It was a fill-in talk, so it was just a general overview of some data collection, nothing specific. I shouldn't say nothing specific. He showed some Goshen tornado obs from their rapid-scan radar. There were some oscillations in tornado strength that weren't temporally resolved by the other DOWs, but it wasn't too in-depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So exciting to see some of this coming out! I was with the NCSU mobile sounding team during the 2009 portion and was lucky enough to release several balloons on the Goshen tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtRosen Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 That Goshen tornado was a gift from God if I ever saw one. Everything was just right for that tornado and what a beauty it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFanatica Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 That Goshen tornado was a gift from God if I ever saw one. Everything was just right for that tornado and what a beauty it was. It was the closest the project got to the perfect dataset. The storm scale radars didn't have complete coverage, the road network for the mobile mesonets was not great, and the tornado moved in between tornado "pods", but otherwise, it was a big hit.

AtticaFanatica Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Paul Markowski has his two part manuscript of the pre-tornadogenesis period of the Goshen County tornado up on his website under "manuscripts": http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~marko/goshen/ I don't believe the peer-review process has been completed yet, so keep that in mind. If you're not that familiar with supercells and tornadoes, it may be a bit advanced for you. I think it's an extremely thorough analysis that illustrates just why it's so difficult to answer the remaining tornadogenesis questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFanatica Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 A couple of more papers are trickling out and are in early online release, so you have free access to them.

For those in the DC area, Dr. Wakimato from NCAR is giving a talk on the structure of the LaGrange tornado as observed by the Vortex-2 sensor suite. Presentation is on 17 November at 3:30pm (refreshments starting at 3pm). If you are a UofMD Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences student or alum, you can also meet him afterwards at 4:45pm. http://aosc.umd.edu/~seminar/abstract_files/y11fall/abstract_111117_wakimoto.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
