What kind of research do chasers usually do?
Contrary to popular belief, most chasers are not directly involved in research. Field research in meteorology requires methods and techniques that are meticulously carried out, so much so that they can completely absorb the enjoyment of storm chasing. However, few would dispute that the thousands of photos and videos collected by chasers over the past three decades have paid valuable dividends to the science of meteorology and to the public.
