I am an array of mobile/deployable weather radars (DOWs/COWs), weather stations, disdrometers, mesonets, & soundings. I look best in Carbone42.https://bsky.app/profile/dowfacility.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/dowfacility.bsky.social/post/3mnlpphmv422s17 years ago today! As part of VORTEX2, we parked in front of an incipient tornado and collected coordinated data (also I still thought radomes were cool 😎). Lots of papers were written about the Goshen tornado using DOW data!
