Video Profile: OU Team Investigates Tell-Tale Signs of Tornado Formation

TORUS, a research project headed by OU and NOAA, is creating a new approach to understanding why some storms produce tornados, and others don’t. They’re studying how things like wind speed, temperature, humidity and pressure may tell investigators that there are structures within the storm that can contribute to the formation of a tornado. It’s also giving OU meteorology students hands-on experience in important scientific field work.
