how storm chasers work
There is a lot of things you have to do to be a storm chaser. To be one you have to have a lot of training in meteorology and must know about the storms they are following. Also you could be out driving around up to 12 hours just finding a storms and probably finding nothing. They carry cameras, phones, and computers. This allows them to get updates on weather. These people do more than just chase storms they are scientists that take risks to gather data to understand these storms.
ReplyDeleteIn the long run I would not be cut out to be a storm chaser. I get sick when those sirens sound. I would be the one sitting in the back of the vehicle and would be yelling at you to turn around and get out of there. Also I would probably be screaming.
I wonder how much data they are actually able to gather, when they are unable to find a storm.
DeleteGood reasons for being a storm chaser include scientific reasons such as to capture pictures of the storms and sell them. Storm chasers have to drive for about 12 hours and sometimes they don't even see a storm.
ReplyDeleteWe think that storm chasing could be a very fun, exciting, and dangerous job.
Some good reasons to be a storm chaser is first of all research and second of all some people make a living from selling pictures of certain storms. Chasers have to 8-12 hours driving around, but they don't always encounter a storm.
ReplyDeleteStorm chasing could be a fun way to research because (when you find a storm) you get very close to it, and can see all of the details that others couldn't ever dream of seeing.

ReplyDeleteWe think being a storm chaser would be really cool too, and dangerous. We all agree it would be really cool to see the inside of a storm, but we wouldn't want that as our career. We wouldn't because if something goes wrong, you could be seriously injured or even die.
It would be a lot of work to do, plus you have to be able to get close to storms and not be scared about it. So to be a storm chaser you have to be able to get close to like tornadoes and tsunamis and stuff like that, and you would have to be really good with data and science tools so you don't mess up on your work
ReplyDeleteGood reasons to be a storm chaser would be for scientific research.
ReplyDeleteAlso, to capture pictures of the storms and sell them. Chasers have to wait 8-12 hours to see a storm, and sometimes they don't always get to see a storm. Storm chasing sounds like fun job, but I don't think I would like to do it. It seems like it could be a dangerous job, especially if a storm was able to produce a tornado.
They drive for 8 to 12 hours without seeing a storm so it may not always happen. Storm chasers use radar & technology to locate storms. Some of them might even film them for it to become a movie one day.-Dominic Deutsch
