Evening pictures from the NSSL
I got out of class and saw this storm to the south. It looked
like a great photo-op from the NSSL.

National Severe Weather Workshop 2003
What Was Learned at LaPlata, MD
Tim Marshall, P.E.
Haag Engineering
Tim showed us how the Fujita scale had been misinterpreted
and that most of the damage was actually F0 and F1, not the F4 as was reported
by the media and local authorities in Maryland. He had photos of houses
completely off their foundation, but with intact windows and minimal shingle
damage.
Phased Array Radar
Doug Forsyth
Director, Radar Research and Development Division
NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory
We found out about the status of the project, and what to
expect when it's done. Primarily, cutting the radar scan time from Nexrad's 6
minutes down to 1 minute. Warning times should significantly increase, and new
areas of research should become available. More information at
NSSL.

I went out to North Campus after the conference to visit the
Phased Array Radar under construction.
Here I'm pretending to be forecasting with my group from the Oklahoma
Weather Lab in the fall of 2001.
