CANWARN Ontario
CANWARN is a volunteer organization
of ham radio operators who report severe weather when they see it to Environment
Canada. What they do is called ground-truthing. They confirm on the ground
what satellites and radars see in the atmosphere. When Environment Canada's
weather centres issue severe weather watches or warnings, they alert the
CANWARN volunteers at the organization's regional stations in the affected
areas. The volunteers contact other CANWARN members on the ham radio, tell
them a watch or warning has been issued and ask them to report signs of
approaching severe weather. These include lightning, hail, cumulonimbus
clouds or as they are known in the trade CBs, and funnel clouds, which
if they touch down are then called tornadoes. Visit
