Description:

Motivated in part by the tornado observational record, Trapp et al. (2017, hereinafter TMN17) posed a simple hypothesis linking tornado intensity to rotating-updraft width. TMN17 evaluated this hypothesis using a set of idealized numerical simulations of supercell thunderstorms, which ultimately revealed robust linear correlations between peak near-surface vertical vorticity and updraft area at midlevels (~3–7 km above the ground).
