Term Talk
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.
