How To Use NOAA's US Weather Radar Data To Find Meteorite Falls

[GotAU?]

NOAA's US national weather radar network is capable of detecting the turbulence caused by meteorites falling through the atmosphere, and it is possible to use this data to get a fairly accurate location of their track and fall zone.  You will need the date, time, and a general location of where the meteorite or fireball was seen to do this.  For example, the 2012 Battle Mountain, Nevada meteorite fall was mapped and recovered by meteorite hunters using weather radar data from the station located in Elko, NV, and so can you. 

Instead of rewriting the directions for this, here are the links for the toolkit (PC only) download, along with the tutorials.
