Greg Stumpf is a University of Oklahoma meteorologist contracted to work for the National Weather Service (NWS) to research and develop innovative severe weather warning decision making technology including Doppler radar algorithms.  He is stationed at the National Weather Center (NWC) in Norman, Oklahoma, and works with National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) scientists to help test and transfer new warning technology, products, and services into NWS operations via the NWC Hazardous Weather Testbed Experimental Warning Program (HWT/EWP).  Prior to this position, Greg served as an NSSL group manager responsible for warning application research and development.  Throughout his 18 year career, he has had opportunities to participate in a number of special research projects, including several storm intercept programs (e.g., VORTEX), as well as real-time NWS warning decision proof-of-concept tests at about 12 forecast offices nationwide.  Greg has traveled extensively in the United States for business and pleasure, and to the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Brazil, and Australia to lecture on warning and radar applications and theory.  He has chased storms as a hobby in the Great Plains since 1987, and has witnessed uncountable severe storms and tornadoes.  Greg co-produced the Storms of 2004 and the Storms of 2005 DVDs along with Jim LaDue.
