DLR Competition of visions: DFD proposal EDDY receives award

The EDDY-proposal of DFD has been selected for promotion by DLR's board of directors in the "Competition of Visions 2009" . EDDY addresses qualitative improvements in forecasting the courses of storms, in particular those of hurricanes. The EDDY approach makes use of surveying gravity waves and infrasound waves, being emitted by such storms in the middle atmosphere (at altitude levels of 10-100km).
