There are many unresolved issues regarding tornadogenesis in supercells. One question that has received recent attention in the research community is the role of the rear-flank downdraft (RFD) and rear-flank downdraft gust front (RFDGF) in tornadogenesis. TWISTEX 2008 (Tactical Weather Instrumented Sampling in/near Tornadoes Experiment) was a field experiment designed to collect near-surface data in and near tornadoes. One of the project objectives was to document the kinematic and thermodynamic environment in the vicinity of the RFDGF, and to try to determine the RFD/RFDGF’s contribution to low-level mesocyclogenesis, tornadogenesis and tornado maintenance.
