Info on the VORTEX 2 Documentary Airing on the Weather Channel Sunday Sept 6 2009

[BergenSkywarn]

As you might recall, the Weather Channel aired daily updates from the VORTEX 2 tornado research month long (crossing through 13 states) in the field data collecting effort this year.

 

One of our local (Bergen County) SKYWARN Spotters, and amateur radio operator, was on the road with the project for the entire time it was in the field, as part Weather Channel's technical support team, directly working as part of the NBC Universal supplied video support satellite uplinking crew (Kevin even had an on-camera appearance or 2, so hopefully he's also made it into the documentary).

 

If you missed the live broadcasts, which included some very exciting from the scientific side, video of a developing and occurring tornadic event, you can see the first airing of the Documentary on the VORTEX 2 project this Sunday evening on the Weather Channel.

 

The  Broadcast is set to start at 9PM EDT on this Sunday evening September 6 2009. (no information on any later re-airings at this time)
