  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Tornadic Vortex Signature- Doppler radar signature in the radial velocity field indicating intense,\nconcentrated rotation - more so than a mesocyclone. Like the mesocyclone, specific criteria involving\nstrength, vertical depth, and time continuity must be met in order for a signature to become a TVS. Existence\nof a TVS strongly increases the probability of tornado occurrence, but does not guarantee it. A TVS is not\na visually observable feature.",
