I've finished my research for the 29 July 2006 tornadoes of Marcellus and Utica, NY. I will not post my results quite yet, as I will probably need to clean it up a bit and maybe try to get it published.
At any rate, here's the original abstract:
On 29 July 2006, a line of storms produced two F0 tornadoes in Marcellus and Utica, NY at approximately 2000Z and 1930Z, respectively. To investigate the cause of these tornadoes, an analysis of the synoptic, mesoscale and air column data was performed. The synoptic analysis of the surface and upper-levels indicates forcing for ascent along a surface cold front, which was enhanced by a weak 300 hPa jet streak aloft. Air column data suggests thermodynamic forcing for ascent in the mid- and upper-levels from Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE). Forcing for ascent is also indicated by the veering wind profile and wind speeds increasing with height throughout most of the troposphere. The analysis of the mesoscale data reveals the true culprit behind the tornadogenesis that occurred over Marcellus and Utica.
