We had a great time checking out all the new met tech at this year’s Met Tech World Expo in Vienna, Austria! We loved the opportunity to demonstrate our new 3D-PAWS sensors, such as our AQ sensor and wet bulb globe temp.

We also loved catching up with our Synoptic Data partners!

We had an inspiring time during the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social Annual Members Meeting! Your ideas and discussions will further enrich our education and training resources. Thanks to those who tested the VR demo for our radar lesson series developed in collaboration with @tornatrix.bsky.social!

Did you know COMET provides end-to-end early warning support for weather events? Our team met with Dominicano de Meteorologia Director Gloria Ceballos and Deputy Director Miguel Campusano to launch a study to improve early warning systems in partnership with the @nhc-atlantic.extwitter.link.

Machine Learning training is in serious demand in the Earth System Science community. But what is needed? Help UCAR Community Programs (UCP) at @ncar-ucar.bsky.social figure that out by taking our survey.

Weather data and early warning systems save lives. That's why we've teamed up with Climate Hazards Center to deploy our 3D-PAWS in some of the most food-insecure regions.

We recently conducted a week-long training for our 3D-Printed Automatic Weather Stations (3D-PAWS) at the Red Lake Nation College. We trained staff to fabricate two 3D-PAWS systems for educational and research studies on the Red Lake Tribal Lands. We're excited for this partnership!

A new MetEd experience is here! Here are some of the upgraded features on the new platform:
