The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (or VORTEX) are field experiments that study tornadoes. VORTEX1 was the first time scientists completely researched the entire evolution of a tornado with an array of instrumentation, enabling a greater understanding of the processes involved with tornadogenesis.
The TWISTEX crew and the vehicles on equipped with mobile mesonets. TWISTEX (a backronym for Tactical Weather-Instrumented Sampling in/near Tornadoes Experiment) was a tornado research experiment that was founded and led by Tim Samaras of Bennett, Colorado, US, that ended in the deaths of three researchers in the 2013 El Reno tornado.
Wurman has authored and co-authored many scientific publications relating to hurricane and tornado dynamics and weather radar technology including two articles in Science, [7] [8] articles in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, Monthly Weather Review, Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, Weather and Forecasting, Proceedings of ...
Researchers with the University of Western Ontario's Northern Tornado Project conducted a case study on this tornado, in which, they estimated the tornado had winds of at least 110–119 metres per second (250–270 mph; 400–430 km/h) based on an analysis of an SUV and a truck thrown by the tornado 50 metres (55 yd) and 100 metres (110 yd ...
The closest use of TOTO to an actual tornado was April 29, 1984, near Ardmore, but the device fell over when a weak funnel came too close. Due to logistical and safety issues, TOTO was retired in ...
The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes EXperiment was a two-year project designed to verify a number of ongoing questions about the causes of tornado formation. A new mobile Doppler radar was used and provided revolutionary data on several tornadic storms.
The new movie's mix of science fiction and fact is more conceptual as Edgar-Jones' Kate is testing a theory that introducing large amounts of certain chemicals can "tame" a tornado by hindering ...
Experts say 2024’s tornado outbreaks set it apart, even in a year full of extreme weather. The U.S. recorded the highest number of tornadoes in a decade.
