This is an UNOFFICIAL fan page for Josh Wurman, there are no Official pages on FB as of now. I'm not trying to be Josh Wurman by creating this page, i just felt he should be shown some love if you will. Joshua Michael Wurman (born October 1, 1960) is an atmospheric scientist noted for tornado, hurricane, and weather r...adar research. He created the Doppler On Wheels (DOW) mobile radars which observe tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and other phenomena from close range. He invented meteorological bistatic radar multiple-Doppler networks and holds several patents related to this technology, and is the discoverer of sub-kilometer hurricane boundary layer rolls. He observed the fastest winds and the largest tornado circulations, and first observed hurricane boundary layer rolls/streaks. He has appeared in numerous television shows and his work, particularly with the DOWs, and is cited in numerous popular and technical books about weather. He is featured in Discovery Channel's reality series Storm Chasers, where he leads a group of storm chasers conducting research during tornado season. He was also featured on National Geographic's Tornado Intercept and The True Face of Hurricanes, and in the IMAX film Forces of Nature, as well as several other documentaries and shows including those on PBS (NOVA), NHK, History Channel, and Weather Channel, and on NBC Dateline, CBS 48 hours, Good Morning America. He has authored and co-authored many scientific publications and is one of the leaders of the upcoming VORTEX2 tornado research project. He leads the ROTATE tornado observational project every spring and hurricane intercepts in the fall. He manages the DOW radars as an National Science Foundation Lower Atmospheric Observing Facility.Llegeix-ne més
