TitleRadar data and wind syntheses for the 5 June 2009 tornadic supercell intercepted by VORTEX2 in Goshen County, Wyoming
Date2015
AbstractThese data are the basis for the following two publications on the early lifecycle of the Goshen County, Wyoming, tornadic supercell: Markowski, P., Y. Richardson, J. Marquis, J. Wurman, K. Kosiba, P. Robinson, D. Dowell, E. Rasmussen, and R. Davies-Jones, 2012a: The pretornadic phase of the Goshen County, Wyoming, supercell of 5 June 2009 intercepted by VORTEX2. Part I: Evolution of kinematic and surface thermodynamic fields. Monthly Weather Review, 140, 2887–2915. Markowski, P., Y. Richardson, J. Marquis, R. Davies-Jones, J. Wurman, K. Kosiba, P. Robinson, E. Rasmussen, and D. Dowell, 2012b: The pretornadic phase of the Goshen County, Wyoming, supercell of 5 June 2009 intercepted by VORTEX2. Part II: Intensification of low-level rotation. Monthly Weather Review, 140, 2916–2938. Both papers are freely available from the American Meteorological Society at http://journals.ametsoc.org. Users are encouraged to read the analysis methodology (e.g., the objective analysis and dual-Doppler techniques) in Part I (Markowski et al. 2012a).
