Summary

Description
English: A Doppler on Wheels image of a tornadic thunderstorm near LaGrange, Wyoming (USA) captured during the VORTEX2 project. In the velocity image on the left, Blues/green represent winds moving towards the radar, and reds/yellows indicate winds moving away from the radar. The reason that some of the darker blues contain red/yellow within them is a trait known as Aliasing, where the winds are moving faster than the radar can detect. In the reflectivity image on the right, the main body of the storm can be seen, with the appendage on the bottom of the storm being a hook echo, which is associated directly with the tornado, and the tornado circulation itself can be seen as the doughnut like shape in the later part of the animation.
Español: Imagen radar de una tormenta de tornados cerca de La Grange (Wyoming), Estados Unidos, producida en el ambito del proyecto VORTEX2. La imagen de la izquierda representa la fuerza de los vientos, en azul los vientos que soplan hacia el radar, y en amarillo/rojo los que se alejan. Los puntos rojos sobre fondo azul son artefactos (aliasing) debidos a vientos que soplan a una velocidad superior al límite de detección del radar. La imagen de la derecha mide la reflectividad, y podemos ver la nube de tormenta principal, así como el eco en cadena del propio tornado. Al final de la animación, vemos el propio tornado, en forma de anillo marrón.
Français : Image Radar d'un orage à tornade près de La Grange, dans le Wyoming (États-Unis) prise dans le cadre du projet VORTEX2. L'image de gauche représente la puissance des vents, avec en bleu les vents soufflant vers le radar, et en jaune/rouge ceux qui s'éloignent. Les taches rouges sur fond bleu sont des artefacts (crénelage) dus à des vents soufflant à une vitesse supérieure à la limite de détection du radar. L'image de droite mesure la réflectivité, on peut y voir le nuage d'orage principal, ainsi que l'Écho en crochet du à la tornade elle-même. En fin d'animation, on voit la tornade elle-même, sous la forme d'un anneau brun.
Українська: Доплерівське зображення торнадної грози поблизу Ла-Грейндж, Вайомінг (США), зроблене під час проекту VORTEX2. На зображенні швидкості ліворуч блакитний/зелений означає вітер, що рухається в напрямку радара, а червоний/жовтий означає, що вітер рухається від радара. Причиною того, що деякі з темних синіх тонів містять червоний/жовтий колір, є особливість, відома як згладжування (аліасинг), коли вітер рухається швидше, ніж може виявити радар. На відбивному зображенні праворуч можна побачити основну частину шторму, при цьому відросток у нижній частині шторму є ехо-гачком, яка безпосередньо пов’язана з торнадо, а саму циркуляцію торнадо можна побачити як форму пончика в пізнішій частині анімації.
