• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Can Tornadic Subvortices Be Placed on the Gamma Microscale?

I have not been able to find a clear place for this phenomenon. Subvortices or suction vortices, sized 0.5/50m (Cloud Dynamics-Robert A. Houze Jr.) and not exceeding one minute and generically called "subtornadic-scale vortices" (The Multiple-Vortex Structure of a Tornado-Joshua Wurman) . Considered as an integral or "accessory" part of a multivortex tornado as a whole, even in simulations. Experts know how important it is to divide and place atmospheric phenomena on their meteorological scale in order to avoid a whole series of potential misunderstandings, as happens between "tornado" and "mesocyclone".
By intuition could they be in micro-beta like for dust devils? or micro-gamma as for turbulence? or am I the one who poses false problems?
