Two years ago I barely knew anything about storm chasing and meteorlogy. A few weeks ago Jerome and @aaron-stormchase.bsky.social from SturmjΓ€ger NRW and I threw in all our knowledge and experience to make a dreamlike storm chase come true. This is how we did it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=q1b4...

Complex conditions for pot. #severeweather in S-Germany/Austria/Czech Republic.

First "loaded gun” -> long-track supercells? -> giant hail?
Later Bow Echo? -> destructive gusts? But unclear balancing of Cold Pool Boundary/Rear Inflow Jet and easterly inflow at the northern fringe of the lee low.

The time lapse of the tornado near the town of Theres, BY, Germany is ready!

Notice the subvortices and the vort max to the right of the tornado merging with it at the end.

What a chase day! Is still can't believe it πŸŽ‰πŸŒͺ️

Yesterday I teamed up with @aaron-stormchase.bsky.social and Jerome from SturmjΓ€ger NRW for a storm chase in northern Bavaria. Non of us could have imagined that we see such an incredible multivortex tornado…

Impressive forecast soundings for tomorrow. Low LCLs and in a strip from RLP over HE to NW Bavaria CAPE, LLS and DLS overlap. This ICON-D2 sounding is between Gießen and Frankfurt. Notice the amount of streamwise vorticity in the lowest 500 m!

Some convective interest today in parts of N + central Germany in moderately strong upper westerly flow atop an upper ridge. Not a lot of forcing, but shear looks to be strong enough for a few organised storms including large(r) hail + strong gusts. #weather #stormhour @aaron-stormchase.bsky.social

May the depth of the inflow layer have a negative effect too? In the case with a lot of humidity in the lower atmosphere the inflow layer is much deeper. Could this have a negative influence on the tilting of low level vorticity?

2/2 And I've asked myself so often how strong this effect is or if it has any. So thank you for that! πŸ˜ƒ Is there any way to take this into account for downdraft intensity and coldpool strength?

1/2 That's the point I was wondering about so often! While falling, precip doesn't warm adiabaticly as air would when drawn downward. The typically considered things are evaporatuve cooling and precip loading but the cooling effect of the temperature of the precip itself is never really considered.
