TL;DR: In this paper, a Doppler velocity signature of large shear coincident with tornado location has been discovered in an Oklahoma thunderstorm, which is used to draw conclusions concerning vertical depth of the tornado vortex and its apparent descent from storm mid-levels to the surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the first 10 cm dual-Doppler radar measurements in a tornadic storm are presented, where a mesoscale, cyclonic circulation confirms the single Doppler vortex signature and the curved reflectivity hook echo is around the periphery of the circulation.

TL;DR: The three-body scatter spike (TBSS), an artifact caused by radar microwave scattering associated with large hydrometeors, traditionally has been utilized in the National Weather Service as an operational indicator of destructive hail.

TL;DR: Spectrum width is a WSR-88D product that has been available to operational forecasters since the radar was deployed and has been used to evaluate the strength of horizontal shear within a bow echo's mesovortex.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for classifying supercells that relies partially upon a mixture of objective radar analysis and human analysis is described, which is used to ascertain the direction and distance of supercell precipitation core centroids from their updrafts.
