National Weather Service gains access to Climavision’s supplemental radar network
LOUISVILLE, KY (September 21, 2023) – NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) has a new set of “eyes” on severe weather, where and when they need to see the most. Since early last year, Climavision has been cooperating with NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). Now, for the first time, the National Weather Service has entered into a short-term arrangement to access Climavision’s supplementary radar data through the National Mesonet Program (NMP). The NWS will use this opportunity to enhance research and development while further informing any decision by the agency to enter into a longer-term contracting/data-buy commitment.
