The ARRL store announces the second edition of the publication "Storm
Spotting And Amateur Radio".
This is a valuable resource for the amateur radio operator who volunteers
as a trained storm spotter.
Amateur Radio and SKYWARN (R) -- Becoming a Better Storm Spotter
SKYWARN (R), a program of the National Weather Service, includes thousands
of volunteer storm spotters who serve as a first line of defense against
severe weather. Amateur Radio operators bring great resources to storm
spotting, including an established communications system that can function
in an emergency, a pool of volunteers willing to be trained, a history of
public service, and technologies no other group has.
Fully updated, the second edition of Storm Spotting and Amateur Radio is a
valuable resource for the Amateur Radio operator who volunteers as a
trained storm spotter. This book includes information on resources,
training, equipment, safety, storm spotter activation procedures,
reportable weather criteria, developing a local storm spotter manual, and
the experiences of storm spotters from around the country. It also
provides some meteorological information about severe weather such as
hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, winter weather, floods, dust storms,
and nor'easters.
Includes:
New National Weather Service information
How to apply the right tools during severe weather, respond to it, and
deal with its aftermath
Details of Amateur Radio and SKYWARN response to the catastrophic
hurricane Superstorm Sandy and Joplin tornado
Online storm spotting resources, applications and a list of training
opportunities
A comprehensive Appendix with information on weather-related
publications and websites, a sample SKYWARN operations manual, a sample
after-action report, and more.
