Severe Thunderstorm Event Archive  and Case Study Archive Catalogue

This web page is intended to provide SPC, NSSL, and other researchers, forecasters, and scientists with an overview of severe weather events (January 2000 - present) and cases archived by the SPC (1998-present).  It also provides on-line information to the local community for retrieving historical surface and upper air data.
 

Severe Thunderstorm Event Archive

This page was created and is maintained by Charlie Crisp (NSSL) with assistance from Paul Janish (SPC), Greg Carbin (SPC) and Andrew Just (SPC). The primary motivation for this page is to document all significant severe thunderstorm events across the contiguous U.S. and provide basic meteorological information about each event for individual review and self briefing.  Information contained here can be used for training, presentations, and preliminary research studies related to severe thunderstorm events across the U.S.   Events listed do not imply that supporting data (i.e. radar, satellite, model, etc.) was archived locally or is available for each event.  For more information regarding details of this archive, criteria used in the selection of cases, examples of web archives, and event listings, go to the Severe Thunderstorm Event Archive main page.
 

SPC Case Study Archive Catalogue

This page was created and is maintained by Paul Janish (SPC) and Andrew Just (SPC) with assistance from Charlie Crisp (NSSL) and Greg Carbin (SPC). The primary motivation for this page is to document all cases archived in the SPC Case Study 8mm Tape Library and provide basic meteorological information about each case for individual review and self briefing.   Information contained here can be used for training, presentations, and preliminary research studies related to significant weather events (not limited to severe thunderstorm events) across the U.S.  All cases listed on this page have various amounts of data archived which can be made available to SPC or NSSL forecasters/staff or their collaborating partners.  All archived data is in GEMPAK format for use with N-AWIPS workstations at SPC or other GEMPAK scripts for display.  For more information regarding details of this archive, specific data saved for each case, and case listings, go to the Case Study Archive Catalogue main page.
