A single-Doppler data display has been developed which allows simultaneous presentation of the principal moments of the Doppler spectrum while retaining ease of viewing and interpretation. Display severe storm signatures are described and an example of data collected in a tornadic storm is presented. A tornado signature is identified, its evolution is followed, and comparisons between the signature and the tornado damage track are made.
