Welcome to the Chaser Chat podcast, the ultimate storm chasing podcast. In this special episode of Shear Review, host Kyle Gillette dives into the world of tornadogenesis with expert Jannick Fischer from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Fischer’s recent article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, “Supercell Tornadogenesis: Recent Progress in Our Understanding,” serves as the focal point of the discussion.

Join Kyle and Jannick as they break down the complex process of tornado formation into four key stages: mesocyclonic rotation, surface-level vertical vorticity, stretching and organization, and the transition to a tornado. They explore the latest research, demystify common myths, and emphasize the importance of both simulations and high-resolution radar observations in advancing our understanding of these awe-inspiring natural phenomena.

Whether you’re a seasoned storm chaser, an aspiring meteorologist, or just fascinated by the power of nature, this episode is packed with insights and revelations.
