MIAMI (Reuters) - Computing power gives Europeans a commanding advantage when it comes to weather forecasting and storm tracking, but the new head of the National Weather Service hopes to see the United States regain its leadership in that crucial field.
"Our global forecast system has improved over the last two years. We have specific reasons why that's improved and we've got plans to continue that trend," Louis Uccellini, who took over last month as head of the agency, told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday.
