Meso A became my home for 6 weeks during the ICECHIP campaign. So proud of everyone I got to share the time with in this vehicle during the process.
Meso A is one of two mobile mesonets that deploy 100 lb pods at specific distance intervals in front of a storm to measure certain variables. Here are some photos from Meso A yesterday!

ICECHIP held a dry run today with test deployments in Boulder! Teams are getting familiarized with their respective roles and instruments in preparation for field work!

After 42 days and 15,000 + miles driven, #ICECHIP completed 24 IOPs across 11 states, including within 75 miles from both the Mexico and Canada borders. This totaled more than 10,000 hailstones collected by our teams while data was gathered on different types of hailstorms!

Reflecting also on the sheer amount of people, effort, and money serious field work like this epic NSF-funded project requires. Reliable weather forecasts and weather data don't just fall from the sky!!
I rode along with the meteorologists chasing the world's most extreme hail storms across the Great Plains in a massive effort improve our forecasts of these damaging events. Thanks to all involved in @nsficechip.bsky.social for having us. Had a hail of a good time. 🧪🌩️🌪️

UCAR and NSF NCAR join the ranks of other government-funded entities in closing their DEI offices.
An expected but still awful event that will only hurt the atmospheric sciences and future innovation that widely benefits society.

GREAT conversation at the #AMS2025 @ams-women.bsky.social Women in the Field panel today!
Important topics like navigating male-dominated environments, tricky working relationships, avoiding giant squid doing shipborne research & way more. 🌪️🦑
Thank you to our panelists for their insight! 🧵⬇️
