Possible Implications of Self-Similarity for Tornadogenesis and Maintenance
Pavel Bělík, Brittany Dahl, Douglas Dokken +3
Self-similarity in tornadic and some non-tornadic supercell flows is studied and power laws relating various quantities in such flows are demonstrated. Magnitudes of the exponents…
