Description:"Storm surveys indicate a strong tornado (F2) struck Lake Cobbosseecontee, while under the radar umbrella of the Gray, Maine (KGYX) Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) on 8 July, 1996 (Fi g. 1). Sounding data and WSR-88D images revealed this convection to be characterized as a mini-Supercell (Grant 1996). The Mesocy clone/Tornado Vortex Signature Detection Algorithm (MTA)(National Weather Service 1991) identified mesocyclones, however not during the storm's tornadic stage. Also, the MTA did not identify a tornado vortex signature (TVS) during this event, or any other, since the acceptance of our Doppler radar in 1994"--Introduction.
