RESEARCH IN PROGRESS:
Mapping the wind field in tornadoes and mesocyclones with mobile W-band and polarization-diversity, X-band, pulsed Doppler radars from the University of Massachusetts, a phased-array X-band pulsed Doppler radar from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a mobile Doppler lidar. Objectives are to understand the structure of tornadoes and how they develop.
Analyzing the wind field in convective storms using ground-based, mobile, W-band and X-band, Doppler radar data: Objectives are to understand the structure and evolution of convective storms, and why some produce tornadoes, while others do not.
