We are very excited in the UGA Atmospheric Sciences program to have access to a brand-new radar system that we have purchased jointly with Georgia Tech. It will fill in an area of northeast Georgia that is not well-covered by current National Weather Services radars and will also serve as a teaching tool for our students in meteorology. They will be able to monitor rainfall and potential severe weather in real-time and learn about how to present the information to the public. You can read more about the radar at WGAU here.

Tropical rainfall may increase more than previously thought as the climate warms. Credit: teresaaaa, CC BY-ND 2.0.
