Bite-Sized Science: Exploring the Supercell

We know the strongest and deadliest tornadoes form from a specific type of thunderstorm... the supercell. However, important areas inside supercell thunderstorms remain unexplored. That changes this spring as scientists hit the road to study these powerful storms as part of the field project TORUS - which is short for Targeted Observation by Radars and UAS of Supercells.
The TORUS project is funded by NOAA and the National Science Foundation and is led by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Partner institutions are NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory, NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, the University of Oklahoma Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies, University of Colorado Boulder, and Texas Tech University.
