VORTEX2 is a planned secondary VORTEX project for 2009-2010. In 2009, the First Field Phase (5 weeks: 11 May - 15 June 2009) will take place. In 2010, the Second Field Phase (resources permitting, 4-5 weeks: May/June 2010) will take place. Just like the first project, this one will also study why some thunderstorms produce tornadoes while others don't, to improve the understanding of this. The difference is, this project will study the wind damage between violent and weak tornadoes rather than the formation. A new goal was set in attempt to improve warning before a tornado strikes by improving tornado forecasting.
Summary of study plans
- Genesis of tornadoes: how, when, and what causes their formation
- Why some thunderstorms produce them, while others do not
- Structure, and the wind-to-damage relationship
- Improve forecasting of tornadoes
