Guest: John Trostel, DirectorFrom towering supercells to fast-moving derechos, severe storms are some of the most powerful and unpredictable forces in nature. Forecasting these storms requires cutting-edge technology, real-time data analysis, and years of research to improve early warning systems and save lives. That’s where institutions like the Severe Storms Research Center at Georgia Tech come in. Today on Weather Geeks, we’re diving into the groundbreaking work being done at SSRC—from tracking lightning patterns to developing new storm prediction models. We’re thrilled to welcome John Trostel, the director of SSRC, to tell us all about it…Chapters00:00 Introduction to Severe Storms and SSRC03:10 The Role of Co-op Observers in Weather06:13 The Birth of the Severe Storms Research Center09:03 Understanding Severe Storms in the Southeast12:08 Innovative Radar Technology and Its Applications15:02 Lightning Mapping and Its Importance18:01 Microclimates and Their Impact on Weather20:54 Future Research Directions and Collaborations23:51 Distinguishing SSRC from Other Research Entities27:11 Vision for Future Storm Research TechnologySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
