Term Talk
started out as a monthly information forum for the listeners of the NOAA
Weather Radio. The topics addressed were brief with simplified scientific
explanations. These topics span the gamut including: thunderstorms, snow,
rain, wind, NWS modernization, meanings and descriptions of NWS products.
One can also find simple descriptions of general weather events or phenomena.
Even though the regular radio forum has been discontinued, past topics can
be viewed and occasionally new topics are added.
National Weather Service Mission: "The
National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather,
hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for
the United States, its territories, adjacent waters
and ocean areas, for the protection of life and
property and the enhancement of the national economy.
NWS data and products form a national information
database and infrastructure which can be used by
other governmental agencies, the private sector,
the public, and the global community."
