Evolution of a Long-Track Violent Tornado within a Simulated Supercell
TL;DR: In this paper, an ultra-high-resolution (30m gridpoint spacing) simulation of a supercell that produces a long-track tornado that exhibits instantaneous near-surface storm-relative winds reaching as high as 143 m s−1.

TL;DR: Sensor configurations, which included proper aspiration and radiation shielding of sensors, were found to provide the most accurate thermodynamic measurements (temperature and relative humidity), whereas sonic anemometers on multirotor platforms provided themost accurate wind measurements (horizontal speed and direction).

The Collaborative Colorado–Nebraska Unmanned Aircraft System Experiment
Abstract: The Collaborative Colorado–Nebraska Unmanned Aircraft System Experiment (CoCoNUE) was executed on 1 March and 30 September 2009. The principal objective of this project was to examine the feasibility of using a small unmanned aircraft operating semi-autonomously with an onboard autopilot to observe atmospheric phenomena within the terrestrial boundary layer covered by the United States National Airspace System. The application of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS; the aircraft along with the communications and logistics infrastructure required for operation) is beset by a number of engineering and regulatory challenges. This article discusses the strategies implemented to meet these challenges. Airmass boundaries served as the target of the flights conducted. These atmospheric phenomena have the fortuitous combination of an across-boundary scale that yields a coherent signal in the in situ meteorological data that can be collected by a UAS and an along-boundary scale that can be easily tracked via the exis...
