Purdue VORTEX-SE

Our first peer-reviewed publication is finally out! journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.117…

Today's view from the MATH building reminds us that Tornado Alley, which spans from Nebraska to Texas, could be shifting. Read what #PurdueEAPS faculty Dan Dawson, Ernest Agee, Michael Baldwin, Dan Chavas and Robin Tanamachi are finding in their research bit.ly/2YNLcr3

A hearty congratulations to my student @zelly_gatito for her successful defense of her M.S. Thesis on characterizing rain drop size distributions measured during #VORTEXSE and comparing with radar observations! Excellent work! #ProudAdvisor

Our VSE research is profiled in the most recent issue of Smithsonian Air & Space Magazine! Interviewees include @zelly_gatito, @lafleurwx, and @tornatrix. @PurdueEAPS airspacemag.com/as-next/as-nex…

While we aren’t out in the field this year, @NOAANSSL @UAHSWIRLL, @OU_SRs and a few other teams are actively collecting important observations in today’s severe weather in northern AL in support of #vortexse operations. Best wishes to a safe and successful deployment!

This was the from the same squall line our teams observed on Sunday, though we were deployed further northwest. twitter.com/nwshuntsville/…

#VORTEXSE IOP 4c ends with a bang and a birthday! X-Pol QLCS vortex data over the PIPS & multiple sonde launches today. @Atmo_TTU

X-Pol's view of the Lester meso. X-Pol is pointing W so scope is rotated 90 deg CCW. Storm racing away so Vr are outbound.

Here's our 1500 UTC sounding from Muscle Shoals. @NWSHuntsville

Tomorrow is our last mission for #VORTEXSE 2017. It's been real! twitter.com/noaanssl/statu…

Preliminary 1800 UTC sounding from Athens, AL. Good shear but still a stout cap. #vortexse
