Lindell, Texas A&M University and Harold Brooks, National Severe Storms Laboratory Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center Texas A&M University College station TX 77843-3137 17 September 2012 Executive Summary The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) workshop sponsored a workshop entitled Weather Ready Nation: Science Imperatives for Severe Thunderstorm Research on 24-26 April, 2012 in Birmingham Alabama. Prior to the workshop, teams of authors completed eight white papers, which were read by workshop participants before arriving at the conference venue. The workshop’s 63 participants—representing the disciplines of civil engineering, communication, economics, emergency management, geography, meteorology, psychology, public health, public policy, sociology, and urban planning—participated in three sets of discussion groups. In the first set of discussion groups, participants were assigned to groups by discipline and asked to identify any research issues related to tornado hazard response that had been overlooked by the 2011 Norman Workshop report (UCAR, 2012) or the white papers (see Appendix A). In the second set of discussion groups, participants were distributed among interdisciplinary groups and asked to revisit the questions addressed in the disciplinary groups, identify any interdependencies across disciplines, and recommend criteria for evaluating prospective projects. In the third set of discussion groups, participants returned to their initial disciplinary groups and were asked to identify and describe at least three specific research projects within the research areas defined by their white paper(s) and to assess these research projects in terms of the evaluation criteria identified in the interdisciplinary groups.

  • Interview with Sean Casey
    INTERVIEW WITH SEAN CASEY YOU HAD COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR THE TIV WHEN YOU WERE LOCKED OUT OF A MINIVAN IN A STORM, CORRECT? Well, actually, we had come up with the concept the year before, but getting locked out of a minivan with a tornado right next to us, that kind of confirms my sneaking suspicion that if we were going to be that close we should have something a bit more rugged. WERE THERE ANY OTHER INSPIRATIONS FOR THE TIV? Mainly it was just a feeling that, you know, there’s a huge difference between filming a tornado from a couple miles away with a telephoto lens, and filming a tornado that’s on top of you with a wide-angle lens. And that’s really where all the action is. It’s right next to the tornado. And it’s close in the tornado. That’s the kind of power that I wanted to capture. I wanted to get footage that really was as powerful as the subject matter. HOW DID YOU FEEL DURING THE GOSHEN INTERCEPT? Of course it’s hard to describe. In the moment, a part of you is fearing for your life. A part of you is just overjoyed and kind of in shock. I think I was in shock at the time, really. It was such an unbelievable experience. Unbelievable to see a tornado forming half a mile away. You pick the right spot, and it’s just coming right at you, and to bear witness to that. And another thing is I’m trying not to mess up.

  • Doppler on Wheels (DOW)
    Educational Vehicle Tour: Doppler on Wheels (DOW) About the Doppler On Wheels Tornadoes occur infrequently and often form very near the ground, making them difficult to measure with traditional stationary meteorological radars. Doppler On Wheels (DOWs) are mobile Doppler weather radars mounted on trucks that bring radars directly into the path of storms, allowing researchers to study them with greater accuracy and detail. These vehicles have allowed scientists to create the first ever mappings of tornado winds, hurricane wind streaks, and resolution of detailed tornado structure and evolution in 3D. Featured prominently in the film Tornado Alley, the DOW radar vehicles served as the backbone of the VORTEX2 research mission by mapping the overall structure and dynamics of severe storms, the DOW radars allowed scientists to identify locations where tornadoes might form, and helped guide other researchers to position their vehicles and instruments in a tornado’s path. In addition to a large, rotating radar dish and an impressive antenna, the DOW vehicles have a radar operations “cockpit” that visitors can climb into. Depending on availability, the DOW team may also bring additional mobile weather measurement tools (tornado pods, weather balloons, disdrometers (used to measure precipitation, etc.). About the Scientists In addition to a vehicle operator/technician, the DOW will be accompanied by either Dr. Joshua Wurman or Dr. Karen Kosiba, both featured scientists from the film Tornado Alley. Dr. Joshua Wurman, President, Center for Severe Weather Research. Dr. Wurman designed the Doppler On Wheels mobile radars to observe tornadoes, hurricanes and other phenomena from close range, and has pioneered the mapping of tornadic winds and vortices.
