That release of potential energy 🌋

I’ll make a thread at some point with more details, but so excited to see Twisters hitting the theaters this week! It’s been an incredible experience to be involved with the film as well as the premieres in both LA and OKC! Go see #Twisters, you won’t regret it!

Published today in Poland: "Black clouds across Europe"

Really amazing timelapse from Amelia Urquhart 🏳️‍⚧️ showing lifecycle of the supercell with clearly rotating updraft.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐣𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐮 #TwistersMovie 🌪️🌩️ Niedawno wróciłem z premiery filmu "Twisters". Jako, że ścigam burze w USA od 2016 roku, mieszkałem w Oklahomie kilka lat i mam kontakt z ludźmi, którzy byli w ten film zaangażowani, pomyślałem, że podzielę się na gorąco moimi

When I compare my previous years while being in Oklahoma (since 2016), I can confirm this year has been pretty active in terms of chasing days, but most of these tornadoes were either nocturnal or rain-wrapped 🌪️🌧️.

My paper on mergers, nudgers, and collisions (oh my) has been ACCEPTED for publication!!!🎉 Here's a teaser: where are nearby cells (and how many are there) prior to tornadogenesis? We found interesting differences even at 30-minute lead times:

7 years ago it was Poland that was traversed by a destructive derecho. It had a core of especially damaging winds, as shown on this figure from Mateusz Taszarek 🇵🇱 🇺🇸 et al.: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…. The 3 radar loops here show evolution of this system, with focus on strongest part.

Latest paper is out now in Monthly Weather Review! Thanks to Tony Lyza 🌻, Andy Wade, and Jannick Fischer with this one. We looked at a few different aspects of sig-supercell evolution and environments with this one, mainly related to changes in intensity, the background environment, and mergers! 🧵

What might climate change hold for hailstone size? It's a double-edged sword. Check out our NIU NIU WCS new open access study. nature.com/articles/s4161… doi.org/10.1038/s41612… rdcu.be/dRysG

🚨 NEW: Chase Archive is accepting ALL CHASES and cool cases 1925-2024!! Sick of the spreadsheets? We were too. Here's a super slick google form thanks to Kyle J Gillett 😎 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

🎉🎂🎊 Happy 60 years to NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory!

Using OPERA radar data 📡, we found that every year, 184 QLCSs occur on average in Europe ⛈️. In 2014-21, they were responsible for 104 deaths and 886 injuries. Check our new paper published in BAMS! doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D…

Quasi-liniowe układy konwekcyjne (QLCS) to jedne z najgroźniejszych form burz⛈️ w Europie. W najnowszym artykule📖 w Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Artur Surowiecki, Natalia Pilguj, Mateusz Taszarek 🇵🇱 🇺🇸, Krzysztof Piasecki, Tomas Pucik i Harold E. Brooks przeanalizowali🧵 (1/2)

Apart from the paper itself (which is very nice), I like a concept of BS for ULmax and LLmax layers. This is really smart idea of calculating shear that can help to extract a little bit of additional skill compared to fixed layers. Will definitely add those parameters (and LTTP)
