In EXTREME WEATHER viewers will travel with the Tacklebox team to visit the WEATHER Channel studios in Atlanta, the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) outside Oklahoma City and to inverview students who have experienced a tornado. EXTREME WEATHER brings NOAA images into the classroom and provides an introduction to the technology used by today's forecasters. Dr. Harold Brooks of the NSSL helps explain why North America experiences some of the most severe WEATHER found.
This program reveals the complex mysteries of everyday weather through vivid imagery that demonstrates basic concepts of air pressure, solar cycles, swirling winds, and the rain cycle.
Experiments and demonstrations with household items teach the principles of weather. See fun and easy ways to make a barometer, measure dew point temperature, make a cloud, or even make a tornado in a bottle. Viewers learn how heat, moisture, and air interact in our atmosphere. All examples can be repeated at school or home, and some may require adult supervision. Additional demonstrations are presented in written material. Hosted by Alan Sealls, a meteorologist, this video shows that the forces of weather surround us. Students learn how to set up experiments to test theories.
