UNI STORM helps National Weather Service battle airborne threats
Presidential Candidate John Kerry recently listed bio-terrorism as the second greatest terrorism threat to the United States. At UNI, the Science center for Teaching, Outreach and Research on Meteorology (STORM), has been working with the National Weather Service to develop plans in the event of such an attack.
Alan Czarnetzki, director STORM, explains that weather patterns greatly affect how vapors of any kind will disperse in the air. "Since Sept. 11, there's a real strong interest in the kind of information that we provide," he said. "Having this kind of information will prove extremely valuable in battling any kind of airborne threat."
