On 4 October 1995, Hurricane Opal made landfall on the Florida Peninsula. Many of these tornadoes occured within 100 km of the Eglin AFB WSR-88D. Most tornadoes were associated with supercells embedded within a spiral band along the northern quadrant of Opal. A number of images of tornadic as well as non-tornadic mesocyclones are presented here for stimulation of thought and conversation.
TVSs are also evident in a few of the images.
Please feel free to enumerate your ideas and thoughts. Interestingly, no tornado was reported in association with this well defined circulation. A well defined weak echo region is defined within the reflectivity image. In fact, it appears that at the 3.4 degree elevation angle there is small, intense circulation embedded within a broader circulation. A four panel display is also presented showing the vertical continuity of the mesocyclone signature at the four lowest elevation cuts.
