本文介绍了一种空中机器人系统，旨在进行超级电池雷暴的原位采样，包括生产龙卷风的雷暴。给出了系统体系结构和操作概念的描述，并简要讨论了关键系统组件的演变。结果来自两个现场活动，即2009年春季在科罗拉多州北部的空中边界拦截，在Vortex2项目的2010年春季运动期间进行了两个超级电池横除。 2010年的结果代表了龙卷风超级风暴中后翼降落器的第一次高空抽样。
This paper presents an aerial robot system designed to perform in situ sampling of supercell thunderstorms, including those that produce tornadoes. A description of the system architecture and concept of operations is given, along with a brief discussion of the evolution of critical system components. Results are given from two field campaigns, an airmass boundary intercept in Northern Colorado during the spring of 2009, and two supercell transects during the Spring 2010 campaign of the VORTEX2 project. The 2010 results represent the first aloft sampling of the rear-flank downdraft in a tornadic supercelluar storm.
