One function that you forgot to mention was that the D.O.W. can give more accurate data for the radar when the dish is activated, most importantly Tornado Location.
Hey, what degree do you need to operate one? I live in New England, you know where tornados rarely happen, and I want to operate a DOW, I’m just not sure what degree I would need and if I would need to move to the Midwest to operate one, also I haven’t even graduated from high school yet so I’m in no rush, Thanks for your help! 🙏
@@technopancake85 technically all you need is a driver's license that allows you to drive vehicles up to 26,000 lbs. But a Masters or PhD in Atmospheric Sciences/Meteorology doesn't hurt either 😉
@@joshaikins9783 alright thanks! How did you come about working with the vehicle? are you hired by a certain storm chasing company? Or the NWS? sorry I’m asking so many questions, it’s just that this is the thing I’m most interested in doing after high school
@technopancake85 no problem, glad you're interested in the natural world. I am too. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Meteorology and then went to graduate school to get my PhD in Atmospheric Sciences. When I was in grad school in Colorado, I volunteered with the Center for Severe Weather Research (CSWR), Josh Wurman's company (he created the DOWs), to chase a Hurricane and then tornadoes. This got me experienced with the DOW Facility and eventually I got hired to help with field projects. So volunteer whenever you get a chance!
@@joshaikins9783 that’s actually awsome dude, congrats! Thank you for helping me out! My only problem is that I’m not good at math and you need to be good at math for meteorology, hell I just went to summer school for algebra 2 this year 😂, just one last question, since tornadoes and hurricanes don’t happen every day (unless I’m serious underestimating how common tornadoes are in the Midwest), what do you do in between days without storms when your not operating the DOW? Do you have other duty’s/jobs to attend too with your company? Thanks! 🙏

Agreed, the DOW trucks do not accelerate very fast. I drive them IRL. Stop by if you're in Boulder, CO 😉

"A doppler on wheels is called a doppler on wheels because its a doppler on wheels" made sense but didnt
rare to see a kid make a good vid :)

I liked storm chasing back in 2020-2021
I've been a hardcore storm chaser and weather predictor for 7 and a half years
same but in 2021-2022
Can you scan while driving?

how do you put the dorothy doppler on the truck?
@@arctee4631 wdym i bought the truck and dorothy then it was not in the trunk of the car
Oh, they updated the game, you can’t put Dorothy on Bills truck anymore unfortunately, however you can still use Dorothy as a probe
