CUSTOMER COMMENTS

"The quality of your products is second to none."

— C. Brian Batey

"Thanks Tim for your quick response (we like that at FedEx) about our Professional Versions! As we're a 24/7 operation, we're look forward to augmenting our present weather system with Digital Atmosphere."

— Mel Bradley, FedEx Operations

"Wow. Your books are incredibly technical and useful. I consider myself a very amateur weather watcher and feel that I am already ahead of the curve. Thank you."

— Terry W. Taylor

"The NEXRAD support is truly awesome and easy to use – and the ‘other’ feature just really tops it off. This is about my sixth email tonight – the other five being to other spotters in the area telling them they just have to download Digital Atmosphere and give it a serious going over."

— David Cashion

"I'm really looking forward to the next phase of Digital Atmosphere Workstation. I'm sure it will be as excellent as all your other products."

— Simon Keeling
Weather Consultancy Services, UK

"I run and manage a number of festival type events and Digital Atmosphere is able to produce charts that I can use for normal weather forecasting with a fair degree of accuracy and in particular wind speed and direction that is crucial to many of events."

— Robert Connolly, GI7IVX

"The archive data arrived today. WOW! What an amazing set of data! Thanks again for all the extras that you included as well!"

— Bryan Bollman, IA

"We do run GEMPAK and all the Unidata software also, but your package has numerous advantages, the biggest being Windows."

— Anonymous

"I am very impressed with what you have done. I have already shown several people at work your site. I plan on talking to our MIC [Meteorologist In Charge] soon to see if we can get Digital Atmosphere in the office to complement/supplement AWIPS."

— Ken Simosko, NWS, Pocatello

"This new version is even better than the older version which was awesome! Your programming skills and met knowledge amaze me!"

— Chris Kincaid

Severe Storm Forecasting
FORECASTING SERIES - BLUE BOOK

by Tim Vasquez
2009 / 262 pp. / $29.95 / ISBN 978-0-9706840-9-7
7.5 x 9.25" / True bound / Offset print / Glossy color cover


Severe Storm Forecasting is designed for operational forecasters, hobbyists, professionals, and anyone who wants to get fully immersed in the current state of severe weather prediction. Rather than dwelling on the details of theory, mathematics, and research, this title is geared solidly toward forecasting in an informative, easy-to-read format.

It's written by Tim Vasquez, who forecasted for Air Force flight operations in the 1990s, began storm chasing in 1987, ran the Chase Hotline consulting service from 2000-2009, and currently runs the Stormtrack website.
