CASA radar tracks tornadoes up to the minute, literally - Science Nation

The video discusses the limitations of the NEXTRAD radar system, which is spaced too far apart to accurately detect tornadoes. CASA, supported by the National Science Foundation, has developed a new generation of smaller, more capable radar systems that are spaced closer together, improving detection accuracy. These systems are being tested in urban areas like Dallas and Fort Worth, providing more accurate, localized forecasts that can save lives and protect property. The video highlights the benefits of CASA radar systems for emergency management and community safety.
