Talk:Tornadogenesis

Untitled
There are some sections here that are difficult to understand for non-experts and require expansion. eg. "They form during the growth stage of convective clouds by the ingestion and tightening of boundary layer vorticity by the cumuliform tower's updraft."Shorvath 06:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Why is there an updraft?: The presence of an updraft is invoked to explain developments in the following sentence of the article without explaining why or how an updraft should exist in this situation:  "As the mesocyclone lowers below the cloud base, it begins to take in cool, moist air from the downdraft region of the storm. This convergence of warm air in the updraft,....". As a naive reader, I find this confusing. This also occurs in the "Tornado" article. Nkennington (talk) 22:06, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Research
It would be nice to see a reference to Western Universities new WindEEE facility, although I'm not sure how best to add it to this article. http://www.eng.uwo.ca/windeee It is the worlds first hexagonal wind tunnel and will be able to reproduce (simulate) up to EF3 tornadoes.

Some section rearranging.
I've moved the "Landspout" section to make it a subsection of "Waterspout" in here. This seems like a more sensible way to structure the article because a full discussion of "Landspout" makes little sense without having "Waterspout" as an anchor, since the two are intrinsically related. If anyone thinks this is a mistake, feel free to change it - I do think, however, that "Landspout" would be better coming after "Waterspout," even if it's promoted to the same level heading.

Needs to be updated a bit
Thanks to new doppler radar technology (mobile and fixed), many things have been discovered and proven about tornadoes in the last 10 years. Also, some of the things in the article have been proven to not be true. 24.214.114.52 (talk) 06:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
