National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL)

The National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) is a research facility in the United States that focuses on understanding and predicting severe weather, such as tornadoes, thunderstorms, and floods. It is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NSSL conducts scientific studies, develops weather monitoring technologies, and creates advanced forecasting tools to improve public safety and preparedness. By analyzing storm behavior and providing data to meteorologists, NSSL plays a crucial role in enhancing our ability to predict and respond to severe weather events.
