The TORUS project is the largest of its kind, using four aerial drones among various tools.
A tornado warned supercell in Nebraska on May 26, 2013. By Ian Livingston Ian Livingston Email Bio Follow May 14 at 2:35 PM WALNUT, Iowa — A multiyear project in the Great Plains rolled out Monday with hopes of better understanding supercell thunderstorms and the tornadoes they spawn.
Researchers said they hope the project will help to improve forecasts for supercells, which are thunderstorms that spin, and the hazards they can produce.— Matt Flournoy May 13, 2019 “TORUS aims to use the data collected to improve the conceptual model of supercell thunderstorms by exposing how small-scale structures within these storms might lead to tornado formation,” according to the Earth Observing Laboratory at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo.

Past projects have used one, at most. With additional drones, multiple parts of the storm and its environment can be sampled at once, bringing new insights to researchers.— Manda Chasteen May 14, 2019 The project will include more than a dozen mobile radars and networks of weather instruments capable of monitoring atmospheric conditions.
