 DOW data revealed the most intense winds ever recorded (Bridge Creek tornado, 3 May 1999), and the largest tornadic circulation ever documented (also 3 May 1999 in Mulhall, OK), and made the first 3D maps of tornado winds and sub-tornadic vortex winds, and documented intense vortices within lake-effect snow bands.About 70 peer reviewed scientific publications have used DOW data.The DOW fleet, PODS, and mobile mesonets have been featured on television, including Discovery Channel's reality series "Storm Chasers", National Geographic Channel's specials "Tornado Intercept" and "The True Face of Hurricanes", and PBS's "Nova" episode "The Hunt for the Supertwister," and others.
