Severe Weather Research & Prediction with NOAA"},"content":{"rendered":"

Spring has arrived and with it come efforts to study and learn to better predict severe weather like tornadoes. Join NOAA for a\u00a0Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA)<\/a>\u00a0on severe weather research and prediction on April 27, 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Patrick Marsh, Adam Clark, Kim Klockow and Harold Brooks will take your questions during Thursday\u2019s #Reddit AMA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Severe weather touches every state in the U.S. Tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, hail, strong winds, and floods are real threats to our property and our lives. The NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed<\/a> and VORTEX-SE<\/a> (Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes EXperiment-Southeast) are designed to learn more about storms, helping to improve our prediction abilities and bring you better forecasts.<\/p>\n

At the National Weather Center, which houses NOAA\u2019s National Severe Storm Laboratory<\/a> (NSSL) and Storm Prediction Center<\/a>, as well as the University of Oklahoma Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies<\/a> (CIMMS), our scientists work to better understand and predict severe weather to help everyone be prepared.<\/p>\n

About the Scientists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harold Brooks<\/a><\/strong>, a senior scientist in the Forecast Research and Development Division of NOAA NSSL, is originally from St. Louis, Missouri. He received a Ph.D. in atmospheric science in 1990 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined NSSL in 1991 as a research meteorologist specializing in tornado climatology.<\/p>\n

Adam Clark<\/a> <\/strong>is a meteorologist with NOAA NSSL and a 2014 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) winner. Originally from Des Moine, Iowa, Clark received his Ph.D. in meteorology and started working at NSSL in 2009. Clark is active in the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed, which conducts experiments mainly late March and April.<\/p>\n

Kim Klockow<\/a><\/strong> is a University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) project scientist at NOAA\u2019s Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies at The University of Oklahoma who earned her Ph.D. in Human Geography. Working with the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, her research involves behavioral science focused on weather and climate risk, and explores the effects of risk visualization on judgment and perceptions of severe weather risk from a combination of place-based and cognitive perspectives.<\/p>\n

Patrick Marsh<\/a><\/strong> is a warning coordination meteorologist at the NOAA National Weather Service\u2019s Storm Prediction Center, which provides forecasts and watches for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes over the contiguous United States. He was born in Georgia but grew up in Arkansas and received his Ph.D. at the University of Oklahoma.<\/p>\n
