Doppler on Wheels (DOW)
@dowfacility.bsky.social
I am an array of mobile/deployable weather radars (DOWs/COWs), weather stations, disdrometers, mesonets, & soundings. I look best in Carbone42.
Thanks @ncar-ucar.bsky.social and everyone who came out for a Superb Super Science Saturday!! Until next year 😁. (And don’t forget to fall back tonight…unless you are a mobile radar and use UNIX time 🤣)

20 years ago today, I intercepted my 7th hurricane eye as Rita made landfall near Port Arthur, TX. Led by Joshua Wurman & @kakosiba.bsky.social, I parked on a bridge to stay above the surge and mapped the intense winds: doi.org/10.1175/MWR-...
Ready to intercept landfalling hurricanes this fall!

Good morning San Diego 😎! If you are at #EsriUC2025 and haven’t come to visit me yet…why not?! But, you still have time! Come chat about mobile radars, severe weather, and how we use mapping to help us do our missions…all my favorite things!

Can I be in 2 places at once?
Why yes, I can 😁. Excited to be in KC for @ametsoc-radar.bsky.social Project Atmosphere to talk severe weather and mobile radar technology my favorite topics!)…and, of course, see what I look like before years of chips & gummy bears coat the interior operator cab 😁

Are you going to be at #EsriUC2025?
Good news…so am I 😁! Besides admiring my color coordination…come learn how mobile radars are used to study fires 🔥, hurricanes 🌀, & tornadoes 🌪️! See how we are using ArcGIS to help us find radar sites to get the best data possible in these high impact events!
