Numerical Simulation of a Severe Convective Storm in Texas using the WRF Model

Abstract

This research study focuses on some of the most crucial atmospheric variables that fuel long-lived, dangerous tornado outbreaks. Understanding these variables with model simulations is essential for predicting severe storms hazards. This numerical study analyzed variables including CAPE (convective available potential energy), vorticity, updraft motion, and moisture in order to discover potential patterns in a devastating tornado outbreak, particularly the outbreak of April 29, 2017 in Texas.
