University of Oklahoma RaXPol

We are scanning storms today near Union City, OK and are providing a live view of RaXPol on Youtube. Check it out here: youtube.com/live/whTt4vzed… Live data are also available here: radarhub.arrc.ou.edu/archive/raxpol/

Documented another tornado yesterday near Windthorst, TX!

Fantastic data collected by RaXPol today near Greta, OK! See the live and archived (un-QCed) data here: radarhub.arrc.ou.edu

As part of a @forestservice field experiment, we collected RaXPol observations near a controlled burn in Florida! We were collocated with many other observing platforms that will be used to study the smoke properties, including lidar, solar, and particle and gas sensors.

Collecting RaXPol radar data in New York to support the NASA IMPACTS field campaign! @raxpol @ousom Check out the data live here: radarhub.arrc.ou.edu/archive/raxpol/

Another day in the office with @raxpol @OUARRC

Radar field day at North Base! Waiting for the front with @raxpol, NOXP, ATD, KOUN, and KCRI 📡

Come join us for the 2022 National Weather Festival @WeatherFestival! You can check out our mobile radar trucks and learn about the exciting radar research being done at OU! Our partners at @CIWRO_ will also be flying drones called Coptersondes nearby!

The @RaXPol will be deploying on Hurricane Ian, along with @NOAANSSL radars, sounding units, and disdrometers! @UFGeog @ousom Live data will be available here: radarhub.arrc.ou.edu/archive/raxpol/

If you’re interested in the RaXPol data collected, you can view it on RadarHub: radarhub.arrc.ou.edu/archive/raxpol/ (2/2)

Partnering with @UFGeography, we hosted a virtual field experiment to let students from 11 different universities run the RaXPol! Thanks to all who participated! Stay tuned for another virtual field experiment next year (location/time TBD)! (1/2)

Students will get to decide which radar scans to use and learn about the pros and cons of different scanning strategy options. We'll discuss some exciting radar data and meteorology in real time! #NSF #flwx (2/2)

We are collecting some great observations of thunderstorms in Florida in collaboration with @UFGeog! This week, students from 8 different universities will participate in our first virtual, student-run field campaign! (1/2)

Students: It's not too late to register for the virtual RaXPol workshop on Wed from 2-5 PM CT! Students will plan a RaXPol field experiment to study sea breeze thunderstorms in Florida. You can virtually join the field experiment too! Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1EwynX…

We are hosting a student-led virtual workshop to plan a field experiment with the NSF CIF @RaXPol mobile radar in Florida on August 24! Students will work together to determine the science objectives and radar scanning strategies. Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1EwynX… (1/2)

Teaching K-12 students about weather radar today as part of the OU Mini College! @del_cross_u @OUARRC @ousom

Scanned some pretty storms today southwest of Houston! Thanks @del_cross_u for the photo! @raxpol @NSF

Getting some nice pileus clouds in sight while operating RaXPol today as a part of #ESCAPE2022

Great to be part of this research team! The OU RaXPol and PX-1000 are pictured on the right along with the other NSF ESCAPE and ARM TRACER instruments. @raxpol

We are collecting data as part of the NSF ESCAPE project in the Houston, TX vicinity. Scanning along the LA coast today to capture thunderstorms resulting from a sea breeze and outflow boundary collision. Have a friend with us too (Skyler radar)! @OUARRC @doppler_fan @NSF
