At the Heart of Weather Monitoring and Prediction

The National Weather Center in Norman is an outstanding place that is dedicated to understanding our planet's atmospheric phenomena. I spent several hours here and was quite impressed with the scientific research projects and analyses being carried out by scientists and scholars alike. With advanced sensing technologies and computer modeling approaches, these experts can predict and monitor weather patterns in very fine detail. Besides the scientific discoveries, the center also offers insightful and engaging exhibits highlighting the power and beauty of Earth's rarest natural phenomena. From monitoring winter storms to predicting hurricanes, this place covers a wide range of topics, while offering a great educational experience about the way our planet's climate works. The center is open to the public and visitors can take interactive tours to learn more about the center's work.
