TORUS 19
CU Boulder engineering has a long history of using drones to study severe storms and tornadoes. See the technical specs for the RAAVEN, the most flexible and sophisticated tool ever used for this kind of work here.
CU Boulder worked with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Texas Tech University, the University of Oklahoma and the National Severe Storms Laboratory on the project.
OnCue talked to Professor Eric Frew about how drones are contributing to cutting edge storm research, long travel days with the project, and expectation versus reality in the '90s classic tornado movie "Twister."
