Mission Location: Brighton, CO

Description:

CAMA-C deployed on a slow moving supercell near and northeast of Brighton, CO.  By the time the armada reached the storm, it had been tornado warned and produced a significant amount of hail.  At CAMB’s first deployment site, evidence of cyclonic and anticyclonic motion was observed below cloud base.  Otherwise, all three photogrammetry teams observed weak low level rotation during the entire time of observation.

HD video and DSLR imagery were collected by all three photogrammetry teams.
