Conference on European Tornadoes and Severe Storms

Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are not rare in several countries of Europe, but their documentation in the scientific literature is very sparse. Meteorological conditions leading to tornado occurrences in Europe are basically similar to those observed in the U.S. However, they differ in detail, especially with regard to mesoscale characteristics, so a better knowledge of European tornadoes and severe storms could bring new insights into tornado and severe storm dynamics and forecasting.
