ZDR and KDP signatures confirmed in tornado cases, providing a basis for more effective forecasting techniques.
The study examined 16 tornado events in Germany from 2021-2022, revealing key distinctions between supercell and non-supercell structure.
Measurements utilized from DWD's polarimetric radar network, featuring a resolution of 250 m for detailed analysis.
Findings suggest significant potential for improving tornado warning systems, although results vary for supercell and non-supercell events.
