A Doppler velocity signature of large shear coincident with tornado location has been discovered in an Oklahoma thunderstorm. The gate-to-gate tangential shear (GGS) signature is used to draw conclusions concerning vertical depth of the tornado vortex and its apparent descent from storm mid-levels to the surface.
