Second Conlen Cone Cruising

2024-07-25 By Roger Edwards

Second Conlen Cone Cruising

Second of three similarly conical tornadoes spawned by this warm-frontal supercell, the “Conlen-2” tornado was the longest-lasting and most visually rapidly rotating of the three.  Scud raced around the top half of the visible condensation cone from a persistent inward current established on a core/updraft interface at right rear (perhaps, a streamwise-vorticity current?).  Alas, no mobile-radar units nor scientifically instrumented in-situ measurement vehicles sampled this supercell, and this round of rapid-fire, sequential tornado production stayed well-removed from any good roads.  As such, no SVC could be confirmed, just speculated.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
