Cameron is a research scientist focused on the prediction of severe storms. He has particular expertise in hodographs (the visual representation of the atmospheric wind shear) and in radar-based observation of storm evolutions and interactions. He specializes in the forecasting of hailstorms, in addition to tornadoes, and in developing new tools and concepts to assist forecasters.
Cameron collaborates frequently with the Storm Prediction Center and various National Weather Service forecast offices to share new research, in an effort to improve the short-term prediction of severe storms and the warning lead times of tornadoes and large hail. In addition to his frequent talks on hodographs, he is known for his Deviant Tornado Motion technique (which predicts the potential for tornadoes that suddenly change directions), and his coining of "nudgers" (nearby cells that can trigger supercells to produce tornadoes).
In his spare time, Cameron is an avid storm chaser, and loves watching his research come to life in the field.
