雷达和无人机对超级单体的有针对性的观测（TORUS）旨在通过解释风暴产生的边界和风暴外流内的相干结构与近地面旋转的产生/放大的关系来改进超级单体的概念模型。新的洞察力将通过新的和已建立的远程和原位仪器的协调和紧密关注的部署来实现，这些仪器的任务是收集高空和地面的热力学和运动学观测。两次实地行动中的第一次于2019年5月至6月执行，第二次计划于2022年在覆盖美国中部约1，300，000公里的行动区域内进行。观测平台包括四个固定翼无人机系统、两个移动的地基Ka波段雷达、一个移动的地基X波段雷达、带有机载X波段雷达和向下指向的紧凑型拉曼激光雷达的NOAA P3有人驾驶飞机、八个移动的介子网、两个移动的探测系统、两个风笛漂移器系统和两个移动的地基激光雷达。
Targeted Observation by Radars and UAS of Supercells (TORUS) aims to improve the conceptual model of supercells by explicating the relationship of storm-generated boundaries and coherent structures within storm outflow to the generation/amplification of near-surface rotation. New insight will be enabled through coordinated and tightly-focused deployments of new and established remote and in situ instruments tasked to collect thermodynamic and kinematic observations both aloft and at the surface. The first of two field campaigns was executed in May-June 2019 with a second scheduled for 2022 over an operations domain covering ~1,300,000 km of the central US. Observing platforms include four fixedwing UAS, two mobile ground-based Ka-band radars, one mobile ground-based X-band radar, the NOAA P3 manned aircraft with onboard X-band radar and downward-pointing compact Raman lidar, eight mobile mesonets, two mobile sounding systems, two windsond drifter systems, and two mobile groundbased lidars.
