Abstract
A severe thunderstorm produced a tornado (FO on the Fujita-Pearson scale), close to Ludhiana airport (Punjab), north-west region of India (30.8° N, 76.0° E) on 15 August 2007. Another severe thunderstorm produced a tornado (F3 on the Fujita-Pearson scale) which affected Rajkanika block of Kendrapara district of Orissa (20.7° N, 86.6° E) in the afternoon of 31 March 2009. An attempt is made to simulate this rare events using Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM) core of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) system with a spatial resolution of 3 km for a period of 24 h. The results of the study can be utilized for now casting of severe thunderstorms.
