Dr. Johannes Dahl is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Texas Tech University. His research focuses on the dynamics of convective storms, particularly supercells and tornado formation. He leads a research group using numerical simulations and mobile observational platforms like TTU Ka-band radars to study tornado vorticity origins and storm-environment interactions. Education: M.Sc. Atmospheric Science (Free University of Berlin, 2007); Ph.D. Atmospheric Science (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, 2010). Research Interests: Tornadogenesis mechanisms, storm-scale vorticity dynamics, and cloud-scale numerical modeling. His work addresses critical questions such as whether tornado rotation is generated internally or imported from the environment. The group employs idealized simulations, theoretical frameworks, and field observations to advance understanding of severe weather processes. Recent publications emphasize vortex dynamics, numerical model validation, and environmental influences on tornado formation. He teaches courses in atmospheric science fundamentals, synoptic/mesoscale dynamics, and geophysical fluid dynamics. Labs/Teams: Active participant in VORTEX-SE field campaigns and collaborates with Texas Tech’s radar teams. His group integrates observational data with high-resolution simulations to improve storm prediction models.
