Tornado Electricity

9322697 Winn这个项目的目的是收集有关龙卷风漏斗内部或附近的电活动的定量信息。 10个测量电场振幅的仪器将以大约5000米的间隔放置在地面上，穿过1994年和1995年俄克拉荷马州预计的龙卷风路径。 电场测量将是一项名为“漩涡”的龙卷风风暴主要研究的一部分。 龙卷风云和龙卷风本身的发展和运动，如录像、雷达和闪电位置所示，将为解释电场测量提供一个基本框架。

9322697 Winn The Objective of this project is to gather quantitative information about the electrical activity inside or near tornado funnels. Ten instruments that measure the amplitude of the electric field will be placed at intervals of about 5000 meters on the ground across the anticipated paths of tornados in Oklahoma in 1994 and 1995. The electric field measurements will be part of a major study of tornadic storms known as VORTEX. The development and motion of the tornadic clouds and of the tornados themselves as depicted by video recordings, radars and the locations of lightning flashes will provide an essential framework for interpreting the electric field measurements.
