文迪·弗林博士.D.
气象学助理教授
文迪·弗林博士.D., provided undergraduate meteorology students with access to Doppler on Wheels, a state-of-the-art weather tracking vehicle that’s frequently used by storm chasers. After being trained to use Doppler on Wheels’ sophisticated instrumentation and associated software, the students deployed the vehicle at locations throughout 科罗拉多州北部. “The nature of Doppler on Wheels deployments is hectic but exciting,” 弗林说. “这很像追逐风暴.”
