Visualizations Of A Supercell Thunderstorm That Spawns A Long Track Ef5 Tornado

Visualizations Of A Supercell Thunderstorm That Spawns A Long Track This narrated video describes a simulation of a supercell thunderstorm that produces a long track ef5 tornado.copyright notice:© 2014 leigh orf and central m. The sheer destructive power of the strongest class of tornado (ef5) makes these storms the subject of active research. however, very little is currently known about why some supercells produce long track (a long damage path) ef5 tornadoes, while other storms in similar environments produce short lived, weak tornadoes, or produce no tornado at all.

Visualization Of A Simulated Long Track Ef5 Tornado Embedded Within A The circulation is separate from the tornado, and is, to our knowledge, a feature that has never been observed before in either observations or simulations of supercell thunderstorm. 5. summary. the blue waters supercomputer was utilized to run and visualize a breakthrough simulation involving a long track ef5 tornado embedded within a supercell. A simulated supercell produces a long track ef5 tornado. “long track” refers to an unusually long damage path length of a tornado. over the period from 2002 2012, 90% of tornado paths documented in the united states were shorter than 8 miles in length, and only 1% exceeded 30 miles in length (harold brooks, personal communication). long. Study of such storms a challenge. utilizing state of the art modeling and visualization software, a breakthrough simulation of a real long track ef5 tornado embedded within a supercell thunderstorm was conducted and visualize. with unprecedented fidelity [1]. the actual tornado which we based the simulation on produced winds exceeding 300 miles. Abstract tornadoes are among nature’s most destructive forces. the most violent, long lived tornadoes form within supercell thunderstorms. tornadoes ranked ef4 and ef5 on the enhanced fujita scale that exhibit long paths are the least common but most damaging and deadly type of tornado. in this article we describe an ultra high resolution (30 m gridpoint spacing) simulation of a supercell.

In this work we visualize cloud model simulation data of a supercell thunderstorm that produces a long track ef5 tornado. several obstacles needed to be overcome in order to produce the visualization of this simulation, including manag ing hundreds of tb of model i o, interfacing the model output format to a high quality visualization tool. In this paper we describe how visualization was used to elucidate key features in an ultra high resolution cloud model simulation executed on the blue waters supercomputer where a simulated supercell produces a long track ef5 tornado. “long track” refers to an unusually long damage path length of a tornado (the simulated tornado was on the.
