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.
The project encountered its first tornado on the afternoon of June 5 when they successfully intercepted a tornado in southern Goshen County, Wyoming, which lasted for approximately 25 minutes. One of their vehicles, Probe 1, suffered hail damage during the intercept.
The Tornado Intercept Vehicle 1 (TIV 1) is a heavily modified 1997 Ford F-Series F-Super Duty cab & chassis truck used as a storm chasing platform and built by Sean Casey. [1] This heavily armored vehicle can drive into a weak to relatively strong tornado [citation needed] to film it and take measurements. Work began on the TIV in 2002 and took ...
During probe deployment, the researchers were directly struck by the tornado. The probe recorded a pressure drop from 990 hPa to 950 hPa and a wind speed measurement of 54.6 metres per second (122 mph; 197 km/h) from ground level inside the tornado. [154] The third deployment of the probe was the 2019 McCook, Nebraska tornado. The probe was ...
The tornado that struck Prospect has been upgraded to an EF-2, according to a new report from the National Weather Service in Louisville. Meteorologist Dan McKemy said the survey started in Clark ...
The National Weather Service has confirmed six EF-1 tornadoes touched down in Kentucky during Tuesday’s storm. The confirmed tornadoes are in Anderson, Bourbon, Boyd, Jessamine, Jefferson and ...
TOTO. An instrumented metal drum which scientists attempted to place in the path of tornadoes during the 1980s. The TOtable Tornado Observatory (nicknamed "TOTO") is a large, instrumented barrel-shaped device invented in 1979 by engineers Dr. Al Bedard and Carl Ramzy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Technology Laboratory (ETL), and Dr. Howard ...
