In the early–mid 1990s, the National Weather Service, in word and deed, established the WSR-88D (a Doppler radar) as its own “ray of hope”. This shot, therefore, would be ideal for a promotional brochure touting its marvelous powers. Actually, the radar dome located on OU’s North Campus was fortuitously juxtaposed in this early-morning view, with crepuscular rays beaming through a notch in some towering cumulus and cumulus congestus. Earlier the same year, it served as fitting foreground accompaniment for a sunset supercell.
