Description:
The National Weather Service (NWS) uses a variety of techniques to forecast and detect severe thunderstorms and tornadoes; including RADAR, satellite, ground based and airborne spotters, and (with renewed interest) lightning detection (atmospherics - sferics) . During the 1950's, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) operated an experimental lightning network. Yet, due to technological shortcomings, as well as the intense interest in conventional and Doppler RADAR, sferics became primarily a research tool.
