A squall line 🌩️🌩️🌩️ is a group of storms arranged in a line, often accompanied by “squalls” of high wind and heavy rain. They move quickly & can be 100s of miles long but are typically only ~10-20 miles wide. #SvrWx101 PERiLS studied tornadoes in squalls nssl.noaa.gov/projects/peril…

Today we celebrate Juneteenth because it reminds us of what we came through and what we can achieve. Happy freedom day!

Bobby Saba & Jordan Tweedie say field work makes them feel like part of the scientific process. Learn more about the immersive research experiences of these excelling graduate research assistants and how they are such an important part of CIWRO.

Bright flash reflected in the night sky followed by a loud sound. You might wonder ... was that lightning or fireworks? If you heard a boom or crackle, it's probably fireworks. But a clap (ground stroke) or a rumble (from the cloud channels) signals lightning. Go indoors.

GROUND LEVEL SCIENCE: LIFT Project (Low-Level Internal Flows in Tornadoes) seeks insight on #tornado winds near the ground where damage occurs. 🌪️🌪️ READ MORE: inside.nssl.noaa.gov/nsslnews/2024/…

We're celebrating our freedoms today. Have a happy and restful Independence Day!

Our director, Greg McFarquhar, is in Jeju, South Korea, for the International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation, which begins next week. As the president of ICCP, Dr. McFarquhar opened the Workshop on Evaluation of Cloud Probe Processing Software today. ☁️

Seeing the new #TwistersMovie? Wondering what storm chasing is really like, and who actually studies these storms? 🙋 That’s NOAA! Learn the science behind tornadoes & meet our NSSL scientists who study them. noaa.gov/twisters NOAA NOAA Research #TwistersNOAA

We're proud to collaborate on field research with our partners at NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. Watch this video to see what it's really like to collect data from supercells. #TwistersMovie

Severe-weather research starts with data collection in the field. Partnering with NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, we're proud of our commitment to safety on this scientific expeditions as we learn more about tornadoes and other high-impact weather phenomena.

.Oklahoma Meteorology PhD students Maddy Diedrichsen & Rachael Cross speak to FOX Weather about designing the prop notebook for the #twistersmovie. Maddy works for CIWRO too! Watch the interview: bit.ly/4fzRxif University of Oklahoma #theresonlyone 🌪️

⛈️ 🌤️ NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory is working with partners at the CIWRO to fill observational gaps using uncrewed aircraft, which can support research to improve weather predictions and warnings. bit.ly/3yza7Ge

We're getting to know the new meteorology freshmen at OU during #CampCrimson! Kim Elmore is even sharing how students can participate in citizen science with the mPING app.

Join NWS Norman for a free webinar as we dig into TWISTERS to compare how the movie portrays science with how it works in real life. We’ll also review basic safety and storm spotter info. Thu, Aug 29 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Register: attendee.gotowebinar.com/regi.../195772… #okwx #txwx #skywarn

.Tyler Bell kicked off a talk that included colleagues Josh Gebauer & Tony Segalés on precision landing and auto-charging for weather-sensing UAS at the DDRF presentations today at National Weather Ctr.

Happy Labor Day to all our scientists. Thank you for all your hard work.

Happy anniversary NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory! We're thrilled to celebrate 60 years of excellence! #NSSL60

Join us as we celebrate heritage and contributions rooted in all Latin American countries. Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!

Congratulations to Alyssa Bates, an instructional meteorologist at the NWS Warning Decision Training Division at CIWRO. She serves as R2O/O2R liaison, working with NSSL researchers to show experimental tools and techniques to the NWS field before they become operational.
