The Northern Tornadoes Project
The Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP), founded at in 2017 with the support of social impact fund , aims to better detect tornado occurrence throughout Canada, improve severe and extreme weather understanding and prediction, mitigate against harm to people and property, and investigate future implications due to climate change.
澳门六合彩开奖预测 also partners with the , Pelmorex's , and , and closely collaborates with and several Canadian and international universities on this Project.
