Predicting the Weather: Getting It Right!
The U.S. experiences more
severe storms than any other
country in the world. Recent
improvements in forecasting
technology -- especially in
computer simulations have br ... > full story

Statisticians Show How Much People Depend On Weather Reports
Meteorologists on television, radio, online, and in newspapers supply weather reports to the average person over 100 times a month. Surveys demonstrated that the 300 billion forecasts accessed ... > more -
Geographers Calculate Atmospheric Effects On Humans
A University of Miami geography professor and his colleagues have crafted a Heat Stress Index that will aim to analyze the daily relative effects of weather on human health. The index and its ... > more -
Research Meteorologists See More Severe Storms Ahead: The Culprit -- Global Warming
Research Meteorologists found that the temperature changes brought on by global warming are significant enough to cause an increase in the occurrence of severe storms. Severe storms are those that ... > more -
Meteorologists Can Now Issue Precise Local Excessive-Heat Warnings
Heat kills more people than tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning and flash floods -- combined. The National Weather Service now gives heat-wave warnings to better forecast local conditions for 16 ... > more -
Meteorologists Now Able To Issue Storm-based Warnings
Meteorologists no longer have to unnecessarily alarm an entire county with a storm warning. Using a computer program that reflects an increase in the understanding of how storms develop and move, ... > more -
Meteorologists Discover How Monsoon Affects Summer Weather
Traveling to the coast of Western Mexico, U.S. researchers are studying the North American Monsoon, which brings humid air and heavy rain by blowing winds from the ocean. Studying the monsoon will ... > more -
Meteorologists See Future of Increasingly Extreme Weather Events
While raising average global temperatures, climate change could also bring more snow, harder rain, or heat waves, meteorologists say. Computer models based on climate data from nine countries ... > more -
Earth Scientists And Geographers Integrate Maps And Weather Data
Scientists created a way to combine weather data and geographic information systems software in a visual display for use in disaster response. They created a map with a variety of ways to layer and ... > more -
Using Radar, Meteorologists See Increase in Hurricane-Made Tornadoes
Tornadoes can form when hurricanes make landfall, as their winds at ground level slow down, while the winds near the top keep their momentum. Data from 2004 show this tendency seems to have ... > more -
Meteorologists Use Weather Knowledge to Predict Path of Toxic Spills
Homeland security officials are tapping researchers' capability to predict the paths of toxic waste spills and hazardous airborne particles. Using computer science and mathematics, along with ... > more
