TORNADO SCIENCE & SUPER COMPUTERS - Tornado Footage compared with Simulations

Understanding tornadogenesis using the fastest computers in the world. Tornado footage compared with tornado forming computer simulations at the highest resolution possible with today’s hardware. New theories and scientific collaboration with Dr. Leigh Orf. The Blue Waters Super Computer at the University of Illinois is programmed with the laws of physics the best we understand them as human beings. Different atmospheric conditions can be used to initialize the cloud model. Basically you just hit go and see what happens. The model might then grow clouds that turn into storms and perhaps even tornadoes might develop. In this video we showcase the April 27, 2011 atmospheric conditions that were programmed into the model. April 27, 2011 was the super outbreak were multiple EF4 and EF5 tornadoes wreaked havoc on Alabama, Mississippi and surrounding area. Dr. Catherine Finely at the University of North Dakota found a sounding from that day near Jackson Mississippi and this was the data fed into
