Description
This research funding opportunity is being jointly issued by the OAR Office and Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). It seeks to obtain new knowledge of the meteorological aspects of tornadoes in the southeastern U.S. and the sociological aspects of the public response to tornado forecasts and tornado events. This new knowledge will improve our ability to forecast and warn of tornadoes and elicit appropriate responses to mitigate damage, injuries, and loss of life.
