Caption
CASA's overlapping network of four radar units, which will eventually grow to eight, can look for storms closer to the ground where tornados actually form. They report data every minute instead of every five, as the national system in use does now. Also, networked radars offer much finer resolution and provide significantly improved data on rainfall amounts, wind shear and tornado signatures within a storm.
