Many of the cases are being examined by different research teams in NSSL, NCAR, and the University community and are in various degrees of completion. Links to many of these research efforts are provided below. The analysis of data collected during VORTEX-94 and VORTEX-95 continues. Many of the cases are being examined by different research teams in NSSL, NCAR, and the University community and are in various degrees of completion. Links to many of these research efforts are provided below. Analyses of the Doppler radar data (WP-3D, ELDORA, and DOW) and mobile mesonet (MM) data indicate that the evolution of many of the supercell storms was captured in enough detail to either support or refute many of the hypotheses put forward for tornadogenesis. For additional information on the hypotheses, please check the VORTEX operations plan and the Scientific Objectives. The NOAA Public Affairs Office has an on-line FAQ on VORTEX. Don't forget to check out the award-winning VORTEX: Unraveling the Secrets at the NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory. The SubVORTEX and SubVORTEX-RFD field programs were held during the springs of 1997 and 1998 in the southern High Plains. Check out the SubVORTEX summary and SubVORTEX-RFD summary pages for the events that were captured during these field efforts.
