Sampling supercell inflow with @CIWRO_ coptersondes near the Kansas, Oklahoma border! #kswx #okwx

Honored to be recognized at the @OUAGS awards ceremony with many of my @bliss_science colleagues last night!

There’s only ONE … or in this case two of our incredible PhD students Arianna and Francesca. Be on the lookout for our crew during the game. 🙆🙌🏼

More resources: The international organization EARTHDAY.ORG planned weekend long events for #EarthDay2023 with the theme "Invest In Our Planet." The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also maintains an Earth Day website at epa.gov/earthday

Happy #EarthDay from all of at BLISS! Today, 22 April 2023, is the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day, which was first proposed by the late Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin and run in 1970 as a teach-in to heighten awareness of the environment.

Flying this lovely CopterSonde near Yazoo City today for @PERiLS_Project. Live data from the flights can be seen at wxuas.com.

The only direction to go is☝🏼like the CopterSonde

NSSL Director Dr. DaNa Carlis had a fantastic day in his home town of Tulsa, sharing the mission of @NOAA and NSSL, as well as talking about the importance of mentoring and inspiring the next generation of scientists. #STEM @NewsOn6 @TulsaSchools @Route66AMS_NWA

@wise_wx Yes! We have COA in place in these locations that allows us to fly up to 5000ft AGL. We do not currently have permission to fly beyond visual line of sight, so no IFR conditions

@bliss_science Are you getting FAA clearance for flying above 400ft, or in IFR conditions? I've used my drone for vertical profile sampling as well, but have paused since increased regulation. If there is an easy way to get clearance, I'm curious.

Yesterday, three teams of students and scientists from @NOAANSSL @CIWRO_ and @OUAGS departed @NWCNorman to fly the #CopterSonde #WxUAS in support of @PERiLS_Project

This year, data from all three CopterSondes will be streaming in real time to our newly revamped website, so be sure to follow along! wxuas.com

This is the second year of the project. Last year, the #CopterSonde flew safely and successfully for over 120 profiles. Here is an example of data captured during IOP 2 in 2022

Our first BLISS coffee break is going great this morning. ☕️

Great day showing off some @OUResearch @CIWRO_ and @NOAANSSL science and instruments at @PERiLS_Project media day!

This deployment of the @NOAANSSL CLAMPS is in support of the @NOAAResearch and @NSF supported @PERiLS_Project which will run through the early part of May!

On a clear day like today, this balloon is able to show us the remnants of last night’s nocturnal boundary layer with the inversion still in tact as daytime turbulence is working to mix it away.

BLISS group members @TMBell5 @wxnerdjosh and @eeeeelizzzzz are out in the field today deploying one of the CLAMPS research facilities! @NOAANSSL
