Samenvatting
Flooded streets, derooted trees, damaged cars, destroyed roofs, ... They all can cause a lot of harm to humans. All of these consequences are part of something big: super cells. Super cells can be very devastating and can cause a lot of damage to property. In addition, it can hurt people or cause loss of life. Not only is it important to detect those super cells as soon as possible, we also want to know how severe the storm will be and how long the storm will last. Therefore, weather forecasters need state-of-the-art tools to analyse these complex situations very quickly.In this thesis, we will investigate the possibilities of detecting rotations inside super cells quicker and more efficient. We will focus on specific characteristics that might induce a storm accompanied with a lot of damage. We will do this by seeking for enhancements to the current available material. Considering the characteristics of a super cell and the limitations of the current tools, we will look for answers. Solutions include developing a Storm Relative Velocity image and creating a 3D visualization of the radial velocity.
