'''mr.A''' (born October 1, 1960) is an atmospheric [http://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedec scientist] noted for [[tornádo|tornado]], [[hurricane]], and [[weather radar]] research. He created the [[Doppler On Wheels]] (DOW) mobile radars which observe tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and other phenomena from close range. He invented meteorological [[bistatic radar]] multiple-Doppler networks and holds several [[patent]]s related to this technology, and is the discoverer of sub-kilometer hurricane boundary layer rolls.
He observed the [[Tornado records|fastest winds]] and the [[Tornado records|largest tornado]] circulations, and first observed hurricane boundary layer rolls/streaks. He has appeared in numerous television shows and his work, particularly with the DOWs, and is cited in numerous popular and technical books about weather. He is featured in [[Discovery Channel]]'s reality series [[Storm Chasers (TV series)|''Storm Chasers'']], where he leads a group of [[storm chasing|storm chasers]] conducting research during [[tornado season]]. He was also featured on National Geographic's [[Tornado]] Intercept and The True Face of Hurricanes, and in the IMAX film Forces of Nature, as well as several other documentaries and shows including those on PBS (NOVA), NHK, History Channel, and Weather Channel, and on NBC Dateline, CBS 48 hours, Good Morning America.
He has authored and co-authored many scientific publications and is one of the leaders of the upcoming [http://www.vortex2.org/ VORTEX2] tornado research project. He leads the [http://www.cswr.org/projects/rotate ROTATE] tornado observational project every spring and hurricane intercepts in the fall. He manages the DOW radars as the National Science Foundation Lower Atmospheric Observing Facility.
