VORTEX-SE Engagement

About

The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes EXperiment-Southeast (VORTEX-SE) brings together both physical and social scientists, researchers and meteorologists to look at specific conditions that produce tornadoes in the Southeast United States, and how they impact society. The Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium (MASGC) in collaboration with NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) have partnered to create a model for a regional extension program that will integrate physical and social science research from the VORTEX-SE program to local application for a broader target audience.
