National Weather Service Training Center (NWSTC) - The National Weather Service Training Center (NWSTC) is
responsible for (among other things) training weather forecasters in
the use of the new technology that forms the backbone of the
modernized weather service. That technology includes AWIPS (Advanced
Weather Interactive Processing System), the UNIX-based system that
forecasters are now using to integrate and display data. To support
that training, this section of the NWSTC Web site offers *extensive*
information about lightning - from fundamental physics, to detection,
to safety, to climatology. The site includes several case studies of
severe lightning outbreaks as well as references and a glossary of
lightning terms.
