I've chased in OKC area where a radio station broadcasted directly to ground chasers precisely where a tornado/signature was indicated. It seemed as though the in-office broadcaster was seeing a screen update that "seemed" live and to the near second. I've read here and there about the processing power and time required to post new radar images and that some could take upwards of 3+ minutes. I intercepted the tornado that tracked from El Reno to Guthrie just SW of Guthrie last season thanks to that radio broadcast and the fact that it was such a long track tornado.
My question is what was this radio station utilizing or viewing? How often was there image updated? and how old was that image? I assume it's some sort of a Base Velocity Tilt mode?
Is there a good website documenting "pre and during" tornado scenarios (a sequence of radar images from past historically significant tornados) along with explanations that essentially serve as a guide to spotters/chasers helping to teach them what to look for on a computer screen? I've seen the occasional single image of a tornado signature, debris, etc, but I'd like to so some more images from it's infancy stage and perhaps looped together. Thanks
