RTVSReal Time Verification SystemTVSTornadic Vortex Signature- Doppler radar signature in the radial velocity field indicating intense,
concentrated rotation - more so than a mesocyclone. Like the mesocyclone, specific criteria involving
strength, vertical depth, and time continuity must be met in order for a signature to become a TVS. Existence
of a TVS strongly increases the probability of tornado occurrence, but does not guarantee it. A TVS is not
a visually observable feature.
