Basic equations -- Observing systems and the analysis and interpretation of their data -- Ordinary-cell convective storms -- Supercells -- Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) -- Tornadoes -- Forecasting -- Areas of future research -- Theory.

This book is a focussed, comprehensive reference on recent research on severe convective storms and tornadoes. It will contain many illustrations of severe storm phenomena from mobile Doppler radars, operational Doppler radars, photographs and numerical simulations.
