University of Massachusetts Amherst Professor Brenda Phillips spoke recently on WGBY's Connecting Point about the science behind tornado and storm detection.
Phillips is the Associate Director of CASA (Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere) at UMass Amherst and is developing new storm detection systems.
The need for better storm detection systems has been thrown into sharp relief by recent tornadoes in the Southeast and in Massachusetts, as well as flash flooding along the Missouri River.
Phillips says the "quasi-operational system" has already had some success in early storm detection.
Connecting Point airs weeknights at 7:30 on WGBY.
