WEATHER SURVEILLANCE - RADAR, SATELLITE, TV AND VISUAL <br /> <br />Watching for sudden severe weather development is a nearly <br />continuous effort in summer, irrespective of the daily forecast. In <br />Section A we mentioned receiving weather data continuously from the <br />DTN, Inc. weather data provider. Among the data sent are regional <br />radar composite updates which are transmitted every 15 minutes with <br />a 15-minute delay. Similarly, with the latest hourly satellite cloud <br />imagery a one-hour delay occurs. Since DTN programming allows us to <br />put into motion both satellite cloud imagery and radar composites, <br /> <br />17 <br />
