A clarification of vortex breakdown and tornadogenesis

According to Leibovich (1984), the general concept of critical flow is the consistent element in ''all formations of criteria for onset of breakdown in purely axisymmetric theories.'' [...]the supercriticality condition unlikely is satisfied in mesocyclones, therefore precluding...

Zusammenfassung:According to Leibovich (1984), the general concept of critical flow is the consistent element in ''all formations of criteria for onset of breakdown in purely axisymmetric theories.'' [...]the supercriticality condition unlikely is satisfied in mesocyclones, therefore precluding a mesocyclonic vortex breakdown.
