NSSL/SPC mutually benefit from collaborations

NSSL and CIMMS researchers, and SPC meteorologists are mutually benefitting from being located in the same building. Nine papers/posters authored by both NSSL, CIMMS, and SPC staff were presented at the recent Severe Local Storms Conference in San Antonio, TX. Topics included the annual NSSL/SPC Spring Program, "Operational Ensemble Cloud Model Forecasts: Some Preliminary Results," "Evaluation of ETA Model Forecasts of Mesoscale Convective Systems" and "A Database of Proximity Soundings for Significant Severe Thunderstorms, 1957-1993."

Another way co-location benefits both groups is through daily map discussions where current weather is discussed as well as operationally-relevant research topics, results, problems, and work in progress.
