An operational meteorologist, Davies is a weather forecaster and is known for his mesoscale meteorology research related to tornadoes and convective storms.
[1] He is a major discoverer of the mini-supercell thunderstorm now often referred to as a low-topped supercell,[2] pioneered significant research on tornado environments including on cold-core situations[3] and the importance of low-level buoyancy in some deceptively low-CAPE tornado situations,[4] and produced important case studies.

He has appeared on several television programs related to tornadoes and provided footage for many more.
