NSSL, Storm Chasing, and the Public?
- Storm chasing documented a wide variety of supercell and tornado structures.
- Chaser observations connected what the Doppler radar
saw with what was happening below the cloud base.
- The correlation between radar rotation and storm rotation
led to the deployment of the new U.S. Doppler radar network in the late
1980’s.
- Subsequently tornado warning lead times for the public
have increased from 5 to nearly 15 minutes.
