Lets see some Nexrad!

Here are a couple captures from WDSS-II during the SHAVE project. First 2 are of an LP storm in N KS on 5/26. The tilt is 2.4 and the height was somewhere b/w 4-6 km (exact height escapes me). The last is from 7/1 in Oconto Co., WI...this thing had some of the most amazing TBSS. I have another storm in AZ that had a ~30 km hail spike, but I can't find the capture....enjoy!

Mickey Ptak -

What program are you using to display that radar? Looks nice.

Jon I was using the NCDC's Java NEXRAD Viewer . It is an alternative to the GRLevel stuff yet does not have "live" data or many of the other great functions the GRLevel software does. Regardless though, it is free to download and use.

Thanks. I might give that a try just for the heck of it. Do you know if there is a way to import that highly detailed background map you were using into GRlevelx?

When I was stuck on I-70 March 12, 2006 I took this picture of my threat net, along with it you can also see the tornadoes that just missed us as they passed by as well as read my account of what happened.

The SPC's Cool Image page has a pretty cool storm they dubbed the "Tornadocane" because of the way it resembled a hurricane on radar.

here is more info on it: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/coolimg/nc_storm/index.html

I'm sure that a lot of you have seen it before, but I posted it for those who may not have.
