The numerical simulation of non-supercell tornadogenesis

Non-supercell tornado is a name given to a class of tornadoes which occur with deep moist convection not displaying the strong mid-level rotation found in supercell thunderstorms. In recent years the severe storms community has acknowledged that a significant portion of the small tornadoes occurring across North America every year are associated with storms not displaying strong mid-level rotation before tornado occurrence. This research represents the first high resolution three-dimensional modeling effort to successfully simulate the genesis processes of non-supercell tornadoes occurring along thunderstorm outflow boundaries.
