SKYWARN Presentation - SKYWARN: Who-What-Why-How - November 4 2009

[BergenSkywarn]

There will be a multi-media presentation on all aspects of SKYWARN at the 10-70 Repeater Association's Monthly Meeting on Wednesday, evening November 4 2009 starting at 7:30PM. Included in the presentation will be information on several recent Severe Weather events in the greater Bergen-Passaic County area, accompanied with data from actual post-Storm Surveys done at the request of the NWS, including photos of storm damage as submitted to the NWS as ground truth verifications of severe weather.

 

Additional items to be included will be recorded audio excerpts from active SKYWARN Nets, a new video, made at the recent NWS Upton NY Open House event, showing on-duty staff in the process of issuing severe weather warnings for Bergen County and other areas (this took place on Aug 2 2009) and a complete and in-depth look at how SKYWARN operates and is organized across the country with its over 260,000 NWS trained SKYWARN Spotters, both with amateur radio support and well as with other means of direct communication methodologies from the field directly to an on-duty NWS meteorologist in times of developing or occurring severe weather.

 

The 1070 Repeater Association notes that all are invited to attend, be they current SKYWARN Spotters, amateur radio operators or not. Anyone interested in learning more about the SKYWARN Program is invited and encouraged to attend. Please pass this information along to others who might be interested in learning more about SKYWARN.

 

A question and answer period on SKYWARN and related matters will follow the presentation.
