Kinematic and polarimetric radar observations of the 10 May 2010, Moore-Choctaw, Oklahoma, tornadic debris signature

Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research

Tornadoes are capable of lofting large pieces of debris that present irregular shapes, near-random orientations, and a wide range of dielectric constants to polarimetric radars.

Description

The unique polarimetric signature associated with lofted debris is called the tornadic debris signature (TDS). While ties between TDS characteristics and tornado- and storm-scale kinematic processes have been speculated upon or investigated using photogrammetry and single-Doppler analyses, little work has been done to document the three-dimensional wind field associated with the TDS.
