• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

The world reference for clouds is being revised (first time since 1987!) and we are seeking cloud pictures as reference images. This is the World Meteorological Organization’s International Cloud Atlas.

If you’re interesting in submitting pictures, please start at http://wmoica.org/index.php/en/

I’m posting here because there will be a (new) glossary that includes many severe weather visual features. We need great examples of many things, including the list below and more.

Anvil dome Anvil rollover Arcus shelf cloud Back-sheared anvil Barber pole Bear's cage Beaver's tail Feeder / inflow bands Knuckles Mamma Microburst Overshooting top Roll cloud / Morning Glory Tail cloud towering cumulus Turkey tower Wall cloud Funnel cloud Tornadoes (all types) wedge tornado rope tornado Landspout Waterspout Gustnado Haboob Blowing dust cloud to ground lightning intra cloud lightning cloud to cloud lightning anvil lightning ground to cloud lightning anvil crawlers heat lightning Hailstones Giant hailstones St. Elmo's fire Sprites Jets Elves dust devil snow devil steam devil

I hope you will consider contributing your best images and video/time-lapse (and metadata with it)
ps: It’s not a ‘contest’. The WMO task team experts will choose the best image to illustrate each phenomenon, and WMO will need you to provide them the copyright.

Thanks!
