书籍简介

在广受好评的《实地科学家》系列的这一新作中，科学家罗宾·塔纳马奇和她的团队正努力拯救美国腹地无数的生命，一次次追踪龙卷风。

罗宾·塔纳马奇一生都对龙卷风和极端天气着迷。当她意识到人们为了工作而研究天气时，她便深深地着迷了。

她现在研究龙卷风的成因，即龙卷风的形成过程，以及龙卷风减弱或增强的原因。对她来说，驾驶多普勒雷达卡车瞄准风暴四处奔波是她办公室的日常工作。她收集的数据随后在计算机上进行建模和研究——数学、物理和计算机科学与气象学紧密结合。

最终，准确了解这些猛烈风暴发生的方式、时间和地点，可以为所有相关人员提供更多的预警时间。

In this addition to the critically acclaimed Scientist in the Field series, scientist Robin Tanamachi and her team are trying to save countless lives across America's heartland, chasing one tornado at a time.

Robin Tanamachi has been captivated by tornadoes and extreme weather her entire life. When she realized people researched weather for a job, she was hooked.

She now studies tornadogenesis, or how tornadoes form, and what causes them to get weaker versus strengthen. For her, driving around in a Doppler radar truck aiming towards storms is a normal day in the office. The data she collects is then modeled and studied on computers--with math, physics, and computer science working hand in hand with meteorology.

At the end of the day, knowing exactly how, when, and where these violent storms happen can give more warning time for everyone involved.
