Meteorological Service of
Canada, 4905 Dufferin Street, Toronto, Ontario, M3H 5T4, Canada.
ABSTRACT
Over the last two decades, there exist ever-increasing changes in tornado frequency over Ontario, Canada. It is shown through a composite analysis that the tornado events occur more frequently over Ontario with stronger low-level cyclonic circulations and stronger baroclinicity under conditions of warmer atmospheric temperature.
