Are there publications about Canadian tornadoes?

The researchers working in and with the Northern Tornadoes Project have published a large and growing number of peer-reviewed papers, conference articles and reports. You can find those here.

Scientific articles related to Canadian severe storms can also be found on the website of our University of Manitoba NTP and CSSL partner Prof. John Hanesiak here.

There have also been a number of publications that have been written following significant tornado events. Some are out of print and hard to find:
