Dorothy is a tornado instrument used by Jo and Bill Harding used to study the inside of the funnel. The purpose is to create a advanced warning system from 3 minutes to 15 minutes. It is a reference to the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz" and the character from the same movie (picture is …

2024年7月20日 · Despite the fact that Helen Hunt didn't return in Twisters, the Dorothy link opens up possibilities that Kate may have met Jo and Bill. Jo and Bill's Dorothy device returns with Dorothy V's appearance in Twisters, but the mystery of how Kate and her team acquired the instrument is intriguing.

2024年7月9日 · Twister's Dorothy device is a scientifically accurate tornado research tool inspired by real-life technology. The barrel-shaped device contains hundreds of sensors that gather data on wind speed, funnel structure, and more.

2022年7月31日 · In the movie ‘Twister’, Dorothy stands for Digital Orthographic Telemeter and is used for measuring several parameters of tornadoes including atmospheric pressure, dew point temperatures, satellite com-link, on-pulse doppler radar, among others.

2020年6月25日 · One of the biggest aspects of real storm chasing that made the leap from fact to fiction was Twister's research device, Dorothy. The instrument used by Jo, Bill, and the team was directly based on the TOtable Tornado Observatory (TOTO) used by the NOAA and NSSL researchers decades prior.

Jo shows Bill the realized "Dorothy", a device containing hundreds of small weather sensors that he conceptualized. Dorothy could revolutionize tornado research and potentially provide an earlier storm-warning system, but the device must be deployed dangerously close to a tornado to work.

2016年6月17日 · In the 1996 movie, “Dorothy” was a barrel similar to TOTO designed to release hundreds of sensors into the center of a tornado and send the data back to the weather researchers on the ground, played by actors Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt.

2024年7月27日 · Dorothy is based on the real machine, TOTO. TOTO stands for Totable Tornado Observatory, and it had the same barrel-like shape that we see Dorothy display in the movie. The filmmakers of...

Dorothy is an extreme invention from the movie Twister ( 1996). It was designed to hold special sensors that are made for scanning a tornadoes interior data. Such as internal structure, wind speed, flow a symmetry, dew point temperature and pressure.
