For more than 30 years, the nation’s weather forecasting has relied heavily on the NEXRAD radar network. This network has been the global gold standard in weather radar, however the system is reaching the end of its designed lifespan.
Phased array radar stands as a potential paradigm-shift solution for the future of weather radar in the United States.
The NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory is proud to announce the American Meteorological Society has named Dr. Pam Heinselman a Fellow, recognizing her outstanding contributions to the atmospheric sciences during a substantial period of years.…
LIFT (Low-Level Internal Flows in Tornadoes) seeks to better understand winds in the lowest levels of tornadoes. To do so, scientists will have to get up close and personal.
SCIENCE IMPACT: NSSL’s Warn-on-Forecast System yields 75 lead time on Greenfield, Iowa tornado, demonstrating potential for long-range tornado warnings.
NSSL’s Low-Level Internal Flows in Tornadoes experiment, or “LIFT”, intercepted a violent tornado southeast of Duke, Okla., gathering a data set that could prove to be significant in our understanding of tornado winds at the ground level.
The Warn-on-Forecast System is a revolutionary approach to forecasting severe weather and tornadoes that could lead to a historic leap in warning lead times.
The NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory is back in the field, testing tornado hypotheses with the DELTA Project.
The United States Department of Commerce announced on Tuesday that the Forecast Research and Development Division at NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) is a recipient of its highest award, a Gold Medal.
For more than 60 years, NSSL researchers have been taking to the field to study tornadoes and severe weather.
