The comparisons between your models and Hank's cinematography is truly amazing. The fact that your modelled storms so closely mirror what we see in his videos are a true testament to you and your teams work. Thank you for pushing the bleeding edge of science to help us better understand these monsters.
While Leigh Orf has definitely done a lot of work and research for simulating severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, he didn't write the model. That honor goes to George Bryan who wrote the CM1 model that Orf uses.
@@eclipse2966Here it is inportant to note that a model is worth nothing without very good inital conditions for the storm in question since weather is a caotic system
These machines have certainly come a long way. Also for anyone who has never worked around a supercomputer with the cooling system running, to say it is loud is an understatement.
WOW, I didn't realize supercomputers were so large they fill a building! I think your tornado simulations are the most exciting thing to happen in tornado science since the Vortex 2 project. Now I'm always searching for visual cues of an SVC, or imagining a "parade of vortices" as I watch a supercell. There's just so much the air is doing that we can't see with our eyes. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos!
I’m excited to watch this technology grow into a state that can simulate real-world storms in real-time and be viewed by storm chasers on the ground utilizing virtual or augmented reality mediums. With that they can be directed, in real-time, to gather data on certain aspects to report back to the simulation in order to accurately predict the tornados path. Such information can then assist emergency responders and hopefully accelerate rescue efforts once the storm has passed.
WOW!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha!!! I literally stepped out of my chair and am pointing at my computer screen laughing right now, at how incredibly realistic, and beautiful, and awe-inspiring this video is. I just had trouble distinguishing between sim and reality on my computer screen; and not just with some basic item... with pictures of the *atmosphere*. I've seen Mr. Orf's videos a hundred times, but....did ya'll see that super high-res pastel-colored tornado at 5:41?!!! AND THE SVC: SIM reality?!!!!! You can pick out so many micro-details of the actual cloud structure IN THE SIMULATION! Mr. Orf surely understands tornados a thousand times better than the next best person in the World. The results from this work lends credit to the idea from Lex Fridman, that we'll merge with A.I. and not even know it. I think this software and hardware, make us superhuman in a very specific, colorful and deep sort of way. I'm blown away. Again.
I've been entranced by these models ever since I first saw them. Amazing stuff. Sort of wish I had grown up out where these schools are. SW Ohio lacks meaningful educational opportunities in higher ed when it comes to meteorological sciences. I've had to make do with (a relatively sub-par) general earth science degree and ended up working that school's IT help desk full time :/ Of course this hasn't stopped me from learning on my own and even doing a few observation runs when I can though.
Will these findings help design better alert systems? Has their been any progress in predicting which tornados will be most dangerous? Will there be some kind of new system that can determine this and then alert the public so they can evacuate?
Hi from UK.Thanks for upload.Fab insight into supercomputers and what you use to make your awesome models. Who decides how much time you have and when?
Beautiful!
Wow, mind blowing! Thank you for sharing this.
I'm telling you Hank. This Dr. Lee guy is a strait shooter. He knows his stuff. We could see nominations for the Nobel prize some day.
The legend himself on another legendary video
I knew I recognized the voice of the guy picking up a piece of baseball sized hail
what a fantastic video.

The parts where the video lined up simulation with real world is validating. Happy to see a video from you. Looking forward to the next one!

Wonderful how technology moves forward, thank you for uploading this!
Fascinating! Thank you.

Both are super, and belong with each other.
Alright, where’s Hank?
Love seeing his footage used in important scientific works!

Short but strait shooting the whole way thru. Nobody knows the super cell like Dr. Lee
Loved the legacy equipment. That brought back some memories!
Nice work Doc!
I miss these simulations
Im excited for this!!!
This is fascinating

excellent
I would love to see you run that program through a D-Wave quantum computer, I bet the results would be unbelievable.

How far are you from Ohio University? Tornado research is done there (Jana Houser).
Will these findings help design better alert systems? Has their been any progress in predicting which tornados will be most dangerous? Will there be some kind of new system that can determine this and then alert the public so they can evacuate?
Hi from UK.Thanks for upload.Fab insight into supercomputers and what you use to make your awesome models.
Who decides how much time you have and when?
What are the input methods for creating the visual simulation?
Leigh, has anything unusual been found involving the electrical spectrums ( + and - ) in tornadic clouds. Lightning activity etc?
Hello Dr. Leigh Orf, Would you know if there's an eye in a tornado? Thanks
There isn't
do you have links to the videos youve shown?
They're all on this channel! i.e.: ruclips.net/channel/UCMQZ2sYiMbqyDqvMF5wDPVgvideos?view_as=subscriber
If you decided to buy 500 playstation 3s and combine them through some sort of cable you can do this simulation at home... Just about
