Description
Severe storms are a force to be reckoned with, and for scientist Robin Tanamachi, they're also a source of fascination. Her work focuses on understanding how tornadoes form and what causes them to strengthen or weaken.
By studying tornadogenesis, Robin and her team aim to give people more warning time before these violent storms hit. They use data collected from Doppler radar trucks, computer modeling, and math to predict when and where the next big storm will occur.
This book is part of a critically acclaimed series that brings scientists into the field, giving readers a unique glimpse into their work and passions.
