The TTUKa-1 mobile Doppler radar deployed in front of a supercell thunderstorm near Greensburg, Kansas, on June 9, 2009. The TTUKa-1 was participating in the second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment, funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The project, which ran from 2009 to 2010, was the largest attempt in history to study the origin, structure and evolution of tornadoes and involved more than 50 scientists and 40 research vehicles, including 10 mobile radars.Image credit: Patrick Skinner, Texas Tech University
