  2. Doppler on Wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_on_Wheels

    The DOW fleet, PODS, and Mobile Mesonets have been featured on television, including Discovery Channel's series Storm Chasers (joined by the Tornado Intercept Vehicles and the Dominator SRV vehicles), [11] National Geographic Channel's specials Tornado Intercept and The True Face of Hurricanes, and PBS's Nova episode "The Hunt for the ...

  3. Rear flank downdraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_flank_downdraft

    The rear flank downdraft can arise owing to negative buoyancy, which can be generated by cold anomalies produced at the rear of the supercell thunderstorm by evaporative cooling of precipitation or hail melting, or injection of dry and cooler air in the cloud, and by vertical perturbation pressure gradients that can arise from vertical gradients of vertical vorticity, stagnation of ...

  4. Storm chasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_chasing

    Storm chasers' degrees of involvement, competencies, philosophies, and techniques vary widely, but many chasers spend a significant amount of time forecasting, both before going on the road as well as during the chase, utilizing various sources for weather data. Most storm chasers are not meteorologists, and many chasers expend significant time ...

  5. Convective storm detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_storm_detection

    In the United States and a few other countries, Doppler capable weather radar stations are used. These devices are capable of measuring the radial velocity, including radial direction (towards or away from the radar) of the winds in a storm, and so can spot evidence of rotation in storms from more than a hundred miles (160 km) away. A supercell ...

  6. Mobile radar observation of tornadoes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_radar_observation...

    Mobile doppler weather radars have been used on dozens of scientific and academic research projects from their invention in the late 1900s. [1] One problems facing meteorological researchers was the fact that mesonets and other ground-based observation methods were being deployed too slow in order to accurately measure and study high-impact atmospheric phenomena. [1]

    Weather radar in Norman, Oklahoma with rainshaft Weather (WF44) radar dish University of Oklahoma OU-PRIME C-band, polarimetric, weather radar during construction. Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).

    NSSL: On-Demand is a web-based tool based on WDSS-II that helps confirm when and where severe weather occurred by mapping radar-detected circulations or hail on Google Earth satellite images. National Weather Service (NWS) forecast offices, including those affected by the 2011 Super Outbreak, use the images to plan post event damage surveys ...

  9. RaXPol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RaXPol

    RaXPol recorded winds up to 150 metres per second (340 mph; 540 km/h) inside the tornado, marking the fastest winds ever observed by radar in history. [9] Based on this data, the tornado was initially rated EF-5, but was later downgraded to an EF-3 due to the lack of supporting damage on the ground. [ 10 ]
