Horizontal Vortex Tubes near a Simulated Tornado: Three-Dimensional Structure and Kinematics

Supercell thunderstorms can produce a wide spectrum of vortical structures, ranging from midlevel mesocyclones to small-scale suction vortices within tornadoes. A less documented class of vortices are horizontally-oriented vortex tubes near and/or wrapping about tornadoes, that are observed either v...
