Journal ArticleDOI
The Fluid Dynamics of Tornadoes
TL;DR: A review of the state of knowledge concerning the fluid dynamics of tornadoes as found in laboratory and numerical analogs can be found in this article, where the authors present a state-of-the-art analysis.

Numerical analysis of a Mediterranean ‘hurricane’ over south-eastern Italy: Sensitivity experiments to sea surface temperature
Mario Marcello Miglietta,Agata Moscatello,Dario Conte,Gianandrea Mannarini,Guglielmo Lacorata,Richard Rotunno +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an unusually intense subsynoptic-scale cyclone has been documented in southeastern Italy on 26 September 2006, and sensitivity experiments to sea surface temperature (SST ) of the simulated cyclone are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orographic effects on rainfall in MAP cases IOP 2b and IOP 8
TL;DR: In this paper, the difference in mesoscale atmospheric structure made the difference between moderately intense rain in Intensive Observing Period (IOP) 2b and relatively light rain in IOP 8 in the Lago Maggiore Target Area (LMTA).
Journal ArticleDOI
An Analysis of Frontogenesis in Numerical Simulations of Baroclinic Waves
TL;DR: In this article, a primitive equation (PE) model was used to study two canonical flows that were previously studied using a semigeostrophic equation (SG) model and showed that the PE and SG models can have significantly different versions of the large-scale dynamics for frontogenesis.
