    I'm an aerospace engineer specializing in rocketry who minored in meteorology and also chases, and I find this insanely interesting and impressive. Really good data collection and analysis, especially well visualized. This is a rather simple design (that's a compliment coming from an engineer) and was very well executed, obviously requiring great skill from the user (reed in this case). The dominator series of vehicles, especially their equipment, have produced the best advancement of in-the-field measurements since DOWs and I'm sure as the suite of equipment can gather higher resolution data, tornados can become even more well understood. Awesome video and paper!

    Holy smokes I remember watching you guys on the Discovery channel years ago, I'm so happy to see the dominator still in action! I thought you went to AccuWeather and the chasing was done. So glad this poped up on my feed what an achievement, you are going to get so much good data!

      No I was storm chasing for AccuWeather during that time! They actually supported our science and foot the bill for one of the ground probes in 2017
