Description:

Miller and Maddox (Maddox, 1973) developed a severe storm potential index (SPOT) computed from surface observations. Shulhan (1978) developed a technique for using the SPOT index to define areas of potential severe weather. Manually computing the Indices required for a regional analysis is very time consuming. This AFOS applications program calculates the Index values and generates a plotfMe so a regional map can be created quickly.
