| MFO |
This is the NCAR Manitou Forest Observatory, a forested research site recently developed through funding from the Bio-hydro-atmosphere interactions of Energy, Aerosols, Carbon, H2O, Organics & Nitrogen (BEACHON) program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The site is located in a montane ponderosa pine zone in the Central Rockies near Woodland Park,Colorado(7500' elev., lat. 39°6'0" N, long. 105°5'30" W). |

|
| VORTEX II, 2010 |
Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment. VORTEX2 is a multi-agency field program to investigate (i) tornadogenesis, maintenance, and demise, (ii) tornado near-ground wind field, (iii) relationships among tornadoes, their parent thunderstorms, and the larger-scale environment, and (iv) numerical weather predication of supercells and tornadoes. |
