Iowa State University researchers and students will soon be chasing tornado data in the lab and across tornado alley.
It’s all part of a research project designed to increase scientists’ basic understanding of wind storms and develop innovative ways to make homes and buildings stand up to tornadoes, microburst thunderstorms, hurricanes and gust fronts.
Gallus said students who have storm-chasing experience and safety training are expected to join Samaras as he travels tornado alley this May and June.
