Description:
Abstract: 
This dataset contains data and analysis code used to examine
streamwise vorticity currents (SVCs) in three supercells intercepted by the
Second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment
(VORTEX2). The three supercell intercepts include 7 June 2009 near Maysville,
MO, 11 June 2009 near La Junta, CO, and 26 May 2010 near Prospect Valley,
CO. Raw data from mobile Doppler radars (primarily the Doppler on Wheels
radars) and a mobile mesonet are included, as well as dual-Doppler wind
syntheses for all three cases. Analysis code consists of fortran code used to
construct the dual-Doppler wind syntheses and smooth the mobile mesonet data
and Python scripts used for visualization.
