Yesterday, we were able to document the formation and evolution of a potentially significant tornado and satellite near Braman, OK, with RaXPol. Huge thanks to the crew, @lshedd123, @Fra_De_Martin, and Dr. Howie Bluestein for a successful day of field ops!

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 and MRR deployed for @SnowIMPACTS at SUNY Albany! Multiple radars, now that’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! @OUARRC @UAlbanyDAES

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!

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

You know it's an epic storm when legendary research meteorologist Dr. Howie Bluestein from @UofOklahoma shows up with @raxpol and weather radar expert Dr. David Schvartzman.
They were observing the #Blizzard and supporting the NASA @SnowIMPACTS campaign.

Close-range data of the tornado W of Lockett earlier! You can see and hear the hail core bearing down on @raxpol, which I then had to experience firsthand to stow the antenna 🙃

With Hurricane Delta expected to make landfall in less than 24 hours, OU has partnered with NWS to offer their "doppler on wheels" mobile radar for use during the storm. The radar data is publicly available and can be viewed at this address...smartr.metr.ou.edu/smartr2/l…

New group paper in @MonWeaRev led by @KatieMcKeown34, a study of dissipation phase of Sulphur, OK tornado using @raxpol data. Found two-tiered dissipation, & initial rapid intensity decrease likely influenced by internal RFD momentum surge, among other obs doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-20-003…

13 tornadoes from 4 separate storm cycles was my “final” count... we observed 9 during @raxpol deployment 1, a 10th during D2, 2 more were confirmed visually and via 88D analysis, and they caused substantial damage. The 13th was short but eventually confirmed via chaser video.
