Two Doppler radars at the National Severe Storms Laboratory were used to measure a tornadic storm wind field. The derived wind fields suggest dynamical contributions to storm organization and development. Location of the vortex with respect to the parent circulation is consonant with the veering of the damage path to the right of storm motion. Wind fields derived from the radar observations indicate vorticity production processes important to tornado maintenance.
