🌪️05/17: The LIFT project used LiDAR & mobile mesonets to sample ground-level wind flow on a strong tornado in Nebraska.
This type of data of both the tornado itself AND its formation at such close range and proximity to ground is rare and valuable.

🚨 WE'RE LEVELING UP 📡📡📡
Mobile radars are critical to getting hi-resolution scans of the lowest levels of storms; where 🌪️ tornadoes form and damage occurs. This new fleet unleashes opportunities for more and better data.

ICYMI: 🌪️ Tornado safety is the goal, and that means we need science about people, not just storms. 👇
🌪️🌩️ Storm warnings⚠️ are only useful if you can easily access, understand and act on them.
We're working on ways to make severe weather info more effective for the public & building tools forecasters use to keep people safe! @NOAA @NOAAResearch @NWS
