1) Identify the National Weather Service criteria for severe thunderstorm classification.

2) Discuss the role wind shear plays in storm rotation and organization.

3) Analyze conditions that produce horizontal vorticity and discuss how this air moving about a horizontal axis produces a rotating thunderstorm.

4) Explain the relationship between the cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices and storm structure, as indicated by radar imagery.

5) Discuss the role of RFD's in tornadogenesis

6) Define baroclinic zone vorticity, and describe how it may aid in the formation of a low-level mesocyclone or tornado.

7) Describe the process of how one supercell thunderstorm can produce a number of tornadoes.
