VORTEX II

VORTEX II (Verification of the Origin of Rotation in Tornadoes EXPeriment) is scheduled to begin on 10 May and last through 13 June.  I’ll be manning the VORTEX II Operations Center (VOC) here in Norman on a daily basis.  In addition to this, I’m currently writing code (in my spare time) to generate images of model output for use by forecasters in the VOC.  All of this is on top of my current research and school work – which includes making corrections to a journal article and editing a political science paper that needs to be submittd ASAP.  This is certainly a rough end of the semester; and it only goes down hill from there.
