Matthew's Journal

Many of my co-workers here at NCSU left this week to participate in the VORTEX 2 field research project in the Great Plains. The purpose of VORTEX 2 is to study the formation of tornadoes. VORTEX 2 involves hundreds of researchers from dozens of universities and labs. The NCSU research team consists of 5 graduate students and Dr. Matthew Parker. You can follow the blogs of the NCSU vortex participants via the following links:

I'm not participating in this field research project, but I know the participants would enjoy receiving your interest and your questions and comments.
