Scientists used satellite imagery to confirm that a previously undiscovered tornado tore through the Australian outback in ...

Researchers studied the looping "cycloidal marks" in the scar to determine the tornado's severity, direction and wind speeds. Matej Lipar, Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science ...

Our results have been published in the Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science. The scar is 11km long and between 160–250m wide. It bears striking patterns called “cycloidal marks”, ...

The origin of the strange clearing, which is still visible today, was detected by a scientist trawling through satellite data.

The recent finding is a cycloidal twist in the tale of the Western Australia-South Australia border, where twisters are not common, and showcases the extreme weather that happens on our planet ...

"The characteristics of the scar, including its cycloidal marks indicative of suction vortexes activity, and the analysis of associated weather patterns, indicate a tornado moving in an eastward ...
