Center For Severe Weather Research Scientists Search For Tornadoes To Study

OLUSTEE, OK - MAY 10: A tornado scout vehicle and the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) vehicle chase after a supercell thunderstorm during a tornado research mission, May 10, 2017 in Olustee, Oklahoma. Wednesday was the group's third day in the field for the 2017 tornado season for their research project titled 'TWIRL.' With funding from the National Science Foundation and other government grants, scientists and meteorologists from the Center for Severe Weather Research try to get close to supercell storms and tornadoes trying to better understand tornado structure and strength, how low-level winds affect and damage buildings, and to learn more about tornado formation and prediction.
