Document Title:
Birth of a tornado? (DI02184) Photo by Roger Wakimoto
Description:
A large wall cloud arcs around a rotating thunderstorm updraft. This storm was documented by the VORTEX2 (Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 2) field campaign on June 6, 2010 near Ogallala, Nebraska. One of the goals of the project is to determine which storms produce tornadoes. (This storm did not.)
