For anyone who remembers last summer, the National Severe Storms Laboratory conducted the Severe Hail Verification Experiment (SHAVE) from mid-May through early August. Following the success of that experiment, NSSL has expanded the project to include the verification of tornadoes and wind. This year's SHAVE is the Severe Hazards Analysis and Verification Experiment. The experiment's main goal is to provide verification support to the multipurpose phased array radar for storms that occur in C OK. The experiment, like last year, will also conduct remote verification for storms located in the CONUS.

Data:
This year, we have added a live feed for public viewing (last year didn't do so well in that area)
http://ewp.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/shave07/data
For those who like the WDSS-II products in Google Earth, you can create a network link for the SHAVE reports. Just aim the network link at http://ewp.nssl.noaa.gov/projects/shave07/data/shave.kml. This is probably the best way for a semi-real time feed of the data in graphical format (the Google Maps way has an issue of updating--it eventually does though--due to caching of kmls on Google's servers; further embedded Google Maps also limits the size of the kml being read, from what I can tell).
Some of our stuff is still a work in progress and I will let everyone know of any updates (on the reports page currently, city, county, state information is not displayed...this changes on May 22 with implementation of new software). Any questions, comments, criticisms---don't be afraid![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
