Doppler on Wheels (or DOW) is a project maintained by the Center for Severe Weather Research and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, with the funding mainly provided by the National Science Foundation. The project consists of four vehicles mounted with doppler radar dishes. The aim of the project is to collect as much detailed information on severe weather as possible using the mobile Doppler vehicles.
