Preliminary Stability Analyses of the DOW-Observed Mulhall, OK Tornado
Late in the evening of May 3, 1999, a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) caught the
evolution of a strong tornado as it passed near the town of Mulhall, OK.
Using the GBVTD technique, the azimuthal mean dynamical quantities of the
tornado have been deduced. To help in quantifying the potential structure
of this tornado, a simple two-dimensional vortex stability calculation has
been performed on the mean tornadic structure. Preliminary results and
conclusions of these calculations are presented.
