In the experiments,the distribution of the horizontal wind speed and direction at five different heights were measured with a hot-wire anemometer and a mini-vane.The characteristics of wind speed and direc- tion distribution for the tornado vortex on the various rough surfaces were first revealed with the simulative method in laboratory.By changing the swirl ratio(S=tanθ/2a)of simulation device,it is found that,the size of tornado-like vortex core will become almost identical,as the swirl ratio S exceeds a certain value (S>1.5). The experimental results can be used not only to explain the observed facts in the atmosphere but also to provide the experimental bases for some theoretical studies.展开更多
