The numerical simulation of nonsupercell tornadogenesis. Part III : Parameter tests investigating the role of CAPE, vortex sheet strength, and boundary layer vertical shear

Nonsupercell tornadogenesis has been investigated in a three-part numerical study. Building on the results of Parts I and II, Part III addresses the sensitivity of nonsupercell tornadogenesis to variations in convective available potential energy (CAPE), outflow boundary vortex sheet strength, and b...

Summary:Nonsupercell tornadogenesis has been investigated in a three-part numerical study. Building on the results of Parts I and II, Part III addresses the sensitivity of nonsupercell tornadogenesis to variations in convective available potential energy (CAPE), outflow boundary vortex sheet strength, and boundary layer vertical shear.
