• The Three-Dimensional Structure and Evolution of a Tornado Boundary Layer (2013, background): “The corner and boundary layer regions of tornadoes (e.g., Lewellen 1976, 1993; Snow 1982; Kessler 1986, 197–236; Davies-Jones et al. 2001) are the most difficult and most critical to sample because they are in direct contact with the underlying surface, cause damage, and dictate the vortex structure…”
• Low-Level Mesovortices within Squall Lines and Bow Echoes. Part II: Their Genesis and Implications (2003, background): “At midlevels, mesocyclones generally develop through the vertical tilting and stretching by the supercell updraft of ambient horizontal vorticity [e.g., see the review by Davies-Jones et al. (2001)].”
• Close-Range Observations of Tornadoes in Supercells Made with a Dual-Polarization, X-Band, Mobile Doppler Radar (2007, background): “It is not unlikely, though, that such a wide circulation could have been associated with multiple vortices (Davies-Jones et al. 2001), since widening of a vortex core can be associated with an increase in swirl ratio and a transition to a multiple vortex regime.”
• A review of supercell and tornado dynamics (2015, unknown): “9 and summarized in more detail by Davies-Jones et al. (2001).”
• 3DVAR and Cloud Analysis with WSR-88D Level-II Data for the Prediction of the Fort Worth, Texas, Tornadic Thunderstorms. Part II: Impact of Radial Velocity Analysis via 3DVAR (2006, methodology): “The intensification of ground-level vorticity and slight weakening of midlevel rotation suggest shifting of strong rotation to the lower levels, which typically occurs during tornadogenesis and in the later life cycle of tornadoes (see, e.g., Davies-Jones et al. 2001).”
• Tornadogenesis: Our current understanding, forecasting considerations, and questions to guide future research (2009, background): “But if a downdraft is involved in the tilting process, then vertical vorticity can be advected toward the surface as it is produced (or after it has been produced) via tilting (DaviesJones and Brooks, 1993; Davies-Jones et al., 2001), where it subsequently can be stretched to form a tornado (Fig.”
