Today's photo is a rather pedestrian shot of a tornado from Goshen County, Wyoming this past June -- the only tornado Vortex 2 intercepted last year. Even though this isn't a spectacular shot, what I love about it is the small vortices you can see at the edge of the main funnel. This tornado was in the process of transitioning from a very stout cone to a much thinner funnel that eventually roped out. Vortex 2 got data of the entire cycle of this tornado from birth to death; I can't wait to see some of the papers that come out of this research.
