An outbreak of tornadoes occurred in central and eastern OK.\u00a0 Supercell motions were very fast, ranging from 50-60mph.\u00a0 Given the fast motions, it was believed that the best opportunity for useful scientific data collection would be by forming a fixed radar network with six of the mobile radars separated by approximately 30km.\u00a0 The dual-Doppler region associated with the radar network was oriented parallel to the dryline and centered on I-44 near Stroud, OK.<\/p>\n
Numerous cell interactions near OKC and Norman upstream of the radar network resulted in a dominant, eastward moving, cyclically tornadic supercell that traveled from roughly Norman, OK to north of Ft. Smith, AR\u00a0 along I-40.\u00a0 Due to the fast moving nature of the storm, it was difficult to obtain coordinated observations.\u00a0 However, NOXP captured tornadogenesis of EF1 and EF3 tornadoes.\u00a0 Useful data was also collected from OU-PRIME, the University of Oklahoma polarimetric research radar.\u00a0 Balloons were launched in the pre-storm, in-storm, and post storm environment.\u00a0 Photogrammetry conducted damage surveys following the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
