Scientists are studying how tornadoes form and evolve in the southeastern United States and how to better protect the communities that may be in harm’s way.
It was a brilliantly sunny day as Karen Kosiba and her team unloaded and assembled a huge satellite dish in a sprawling field on Thursday just outside Saint Joseph, Tennessee. But over the next few days, these researchers are hoping their setup will be right in the path of a tornado.
“Our goal is to be right in the path of the storms,” Kosiba said. “We’re hoping that they’re producing tornadoes not on us, but very near where we’re collecting, where we’re set up.” The researchers try to deploy a suite of instruments in parts of the Southeast ahead of forecasted storms, then gather data as they blow through in hopes of understanding how and why some storms spin up intense tornadoes.
