FY 2016 Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment in the Southeast U.S. (VORTEX-SE)
This research funding opportunity is being jointly issued by the NOAA OAR Office and Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL).
It seeks to obtain new knowledge of the meteorological and infrasound aspects of tornadoes in the southeastern U. S. and the social and behavioral aspects of the public response to tornado forecasts and tornado events.
This new knowledge will improve our ability to understand, forecast and warn the public of tornadoes and elicit appropriate responses to mitigate damage, injuries, and loss of life.
