  Tornadoes are severe weather phenomena characterized by a violently rotating
column of air connecting the ground to a parent storm. Within the United
States, hundreds of tornadoes occur every year. Despite this, the dynamics of
tornado formation and propagation are not particularly well understood, in part
due to the challenge of instrumentation: many existing instruments for
measuring atmospheric properties are in-situ detectors, making deployment in or
near an active or developing tornado difficult. Here, we combine local
atmospheric and cosmic ray air shower simulation to explore the potential for
remote measurement of the pressure field within tornado-producing supercell
thunderstorms by examining directional variations of the atmospheric muon flux.
