Science Pub: Tornado Tech
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Severe weather captures people’s attention. TV stations and streaming platforms offer nearly continuous coverage of tornadoes, strong thunderstorms, flash flooding, and blizzards.
Over the last 15 years, technology has advanced to the point where a live video stream can originate anywhere on the planet. TV station staff, storm chasers, independent meteorologists, and weather enthusiasts have turned streaming platforms into major sources of weather coverage. In this lecture, we will take a look at the technology used to track these storms and how storm chasers in the field can share real-time video and photographs despite the storm raging around them.
