National Severe Storms Laboratory

The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) is a research organization in the United States focused on understanding and predicting severe weather, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, and hurricanes. Its goal is to improve weather warning systems, enhance safety, and deepen scientific knowledge of storm behavior. NSSL develops advanced radar technology and computer models to monitor storms in real-time and study their development. Collaborating with meteorologists and emergency agencies, the lab aims to reduce weather-related hazards, saving lives and property through better forecasting and education.
