Aftermath of a storm

[Doug Crisp]

Any chasers study specific parts of the storms or storm aftermath? I would like to know any specific studies being done thank you.

What exactly do you mean?

 

[Stan Rose]

Allow me to explain, Rob--if there's storm 'A' and storm 'B', then storm A+B is the storm, after math.

I like your sense of humor Stan! I'm not sure either what the OP is after, but Skip Talbot put together a study of the El Reno tornado here in the forum that looked at the tornado path as opposed to chaser position during the time frame when some chasers lost their lives. It also covered escape routes and expertise advice on navigating these beasts in the future IIRC. Two threads I recall can be found here: thread 1 and thread 2. I'm sure there are more, you just have to look for them here on ST.

If you are interested in a particular tornadic event, the NWS does damage surveys for their Coverage Watch Area (CWA) and posts those results on their website. For example, if there was a tornado in Hesston, KS, you would look at the Wichita NWS website to find the details of that event once they have completed it.

As Mark mentions, NWS offices have surveys and articles about significant events after they happen - these are usually of good quality but I suppose they are not prepared by chasers per se. I am not aware of many chasers doing much 'study' / research - the vast majority are out for recreation or profit. A very small few are legitimate researchers such as those involved with CSWR / Vortex, project HAILstone, etc. These folks are chasing to study specifics of storm development and aftermath for advancement of knowledge, etc.
