As a new intern at the Storm Prediction Center, I need to familiarize myself with the organization and some key forecast tools. First, find out when the SPC was established and its primary mission. Second, navigate to the 'Forecast Tools' page and identify the name of the parameter that provides a 'measure of the potential for significant tornadoes,' and what its typical values are for significant tornado events. Also, find the 'Supercell Composite Parameter (SCP)' and state what it is designed to identify.
Navigate to 'spc.noaa.gov'. Click on 'About Us' in the left navigation menu. On the 'About Us' page, locate and extract the establishment date of the SPC and its primary mission statement. Navigate back to the main page. Click on 'RESEARCH' in the left navigation menu. Under the 'RESEARCH' section, click on 'FORECAST TOOLS'. On the 'Forecast Tools' page, locate the 'Composite Parameters' section. Identify the parameter that provides a 'measure of the potential for significant tornadoes' and its typical values for significant tornado events. Identify the 'Supercell Composite Parameter (SCP)' and extract what it is designed to identify. Synthesize all collected information to answer the user's questions.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'About Us' page. The agent correctly states that the SPC was established in 1952. The agent correctly states that the SPC's primary mission is to 'provide timely and accurate forecasts and watches for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes over the contiguous United States'. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Forecast Tools' page. The agent identifies 'Significant Tornado Parameter (STP)' as the parameter for significant tornadoes. The agent states that typical values for significant tornado events are 'greater than 1'. The agent identifies 'Supercell Composite Parameter (SCP)' and states it is 'designed to identify environments favorable for supercell thunderstorms'.
