During one of the worst tornado seasons on record, a NOVA camera team chased across the Midwest, capturing hair -raising footage of highly destructive twisters in action. But HUNT FOR THE SUPERTWISTER is much more than just another "extreme weather" show. Our story focuses on the efforts of two scientists at the University of Oklahoma to develop radically different approaches to forecasting twisters: one relies on "virtual tornados" created inside supercomputers, while the other involves hunting down real -life storms to collect data firsthand (the method that inspired the movie Twister). With jaw-dropping 3-D graphics generated by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, NOVA's show features spectacular footage of these terrifying twisters. HUNT FOR THE SUPERTWISTER gives viewers a front-row seat to the risky and thrilling art of storm chasing, complete with the latest research findings and state-of-the-art visual effects. 521 8 Rated PG. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Tornadoes|zUnited States. 650 0 Weather forecasting|zUnited States. 650 0 Meteorology|xResearch|zUnited States. 655 7 Video recordings for the hearing impaired.|2lcgft 700 1 Lucas, Thomas|c(Television producer and director) 700 1 Cort, Julia. 700 1 Marshall, Tim. 700 1 England, Gary. 700 1 Weiss, Steve. 700 1 Watson, Barbara. 700 1 Droegemeier, Kelvin Kay,|d1958- 700 1 Bluestein, Howard B. 700 1 Wurman, Joshua. 700 1 Wicker, Louise. 700 1 Lerner, Richard. 700 1 Galusha, Gene. 700 1 Zumwalt, Lise. 700 1 Bacon, Michael,|d1948- 710 2 hoopla digital. 730 0 Nova (Television program) 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11867379|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ pbs_nov110d_180.jpeg
