The CASA team first familiarized themselves on visualizing and navigating the data with one brief case study.  Matthew noted that in the CASA data he is seeing familiar storm-scale processes happening at sub-storm scales of time and space.  They are now moving on to a displaced real-time archive case in which they will issue mock warnings.  The team read over the available environmental data to great length.  They appreciate this type of data in lieu of a traditional shift briefing.  They suggest that in addition to seeing a central Oklahoma upper air sounding, they would also like to see soundings from the surrounding area, numerical measures of severe weather parameters on those soundings, and an analyzed surface map.
