David C. Dowell is American atmospheric scientist recognized for research on tornado structure and dynamics and on tornadogenesis. He participated in both of the VORTEX projects.[1]
Dowell studied computer science at Texas A&M University (TAMU), earning a B.S. summa cum laude in 1991 with a minor in meteorology. He was awarded a M.S. and a Ph.D. in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma (OU) in 1994 and 2000, respectively. He was on the steering committee, was a principal investigator (PI), and was field coordinator (FC) for the VORTEX2 field project in 2009-2010.[2] Dowell is a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) at OU.[3] He was a contributor to Storm Track magazine.
