Discuss some examples of atmospheric situations that may suppress tornado formation.?
What will be the ideal response?
ANSWER: If the precipitation in the cloud is swept too far away from the updraft, or if too much precipitation wraps around the mesocyclone, the necessary interactions that produce the rear-flank downdraft are disrupted, and a tornado is not likely to form. Moreover, tornadoes are not likely to form if the supercell is fed warm, moist air that is elevated above a deep layer of cooler surface air. And tornadoes usually will not form when the rain-chilled air of the rear-flank downdraft is too cold. Even among supercells that have mesocyclones evident on radar, only about 25 percent produce tornadoes.?
