| Start of amalgamation process | Organized center of vorticity |
Potential Acoustic Radiation Mechanisms from Tornadoes | |
|
|
| Radial vibration | Co-rotating vortices |
|
|
| Boundary layer turbulence | "Organ pipe" resonance |
Conceptual View of One Possible Process for Tornado Formation | |
|
|
| Center of vorticity carried into convective region | Vertical advection of circulation |
