You are welcome Utah ⛷️…we brought you some snow ❄️😁

Good morning Snowbasin Utah ⛷️! I am just a DOW in a field getting ready to look for some snow ❄️😃!

DOW Jenga* takes work 😁! …And what piece to remove 🤨 so you don’t lose 🤣?(*adding wood just provides some extra support for long deployments)

What’s greater than a salt lake? Me at the Great Salt Lake 😁 looking for snow ❄️

Want to know more about what people are learning about tornadic storms in the southeast United States? Of course you do 😁! headlines.ametsoc.org/2025/12/29/a...

Everyone is all excited about a ball drop on NYE…but let me introduce you to the antenna drop 📡😁!

Home for the holidays 🏠…before heading off to our next big adventure ❄️☃️!

Good morning, Nashville 🥶! Excited to show off 🤩 and talk radar, tornadoes, and all sorts of weather at the Tennessee Computer Science Momentum Expedition 😃

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 🤣)

It’s going to be a thing 😁…#DogsOfDOW 🐕📡

Super Science Saturday bonus 🎁! @ncar-ucar.bsky.social has a library…with books…featuring young me 😁!

It’s…Super! It’s…Science! It’s…Saturday! Head to @ncar-ucar.bsky.social for a DOW-riffic good time 😁! And…there are stickers 😁

@ncar-ucar.bsky.social Super Science Saturday isn’t just for humans…🐕 #DogsOfDOW

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!

Hellooo KC 😎! I am in my reserved parking spot (s) 😁…and ready to talk mobile radar 📡 and severe weather 🌪️🌀 with @ametsoc.org Project Atmosphere!

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!

End of Season, ND Radars, Mesonets, Pods out 🎩 So happy to have been part of the @nsficechip.bsky.social field phase! After 24 IOPs…now the work begins 😁

Scanning hail-producing storms in North Dakota for @nsficechip.bsky.social…some dows get hail (and a rainbow!) and some dows get structure at their location

Some people pay extra for this view…so much better than some human twins are radar twins 😁

Scan. Scan. Scan. Scan. Sample. Sample. Sample. IOP21 of @nsficechip.bsky.social underway in northern Nebraska. Mini COW (COW2) data at: svr.guru/data.php?id=...

North Dakota or South Dakota…why choose? Dows & Cows scanning storms in western Dakotas from Buffalo, SD through Dickinson, ND with @nsficechip.bsky.social

Montana noticed me 🤩 @nsficechip.bsky.social mooseradio.com/storm-chaser...

MiniCOW up scanning a hail-producing (and tornado-producing) storm near Arnett, OK as part of @nsficechip.bsky.social IOP19! Can watch in real-time (COW2) svr.guru/data.php?id=...

⚡️🌈 a DOW, COW, MiniCOW at the end of every rainbow 🌈⚡️. End of @nsficechip.bsky.social IOP 17

Big Sky Country! Up north for @nsficechip.bsky.social! COW, DOW A, DOW B (aka DOWvader), and MiniCOW scanning a hail producing storm near Grass Range, MT

King of the hill! 🐄📡 up and scanning in northeast WY ahead of anticipated hail-producing storms later today for @nsficechip.bsky.social

DOW B is part of the multi-Doppler network with MiniCOW and DOW A. Scanning hail-producing storms in eastern WY/western NE as part of @nsficechip.bsky.social! MiniCOW data: svr.guru/data.php?id=...

Hey! That’s me 🤩! Not only am I mapping the winds…but working hard to get all sorts of dual-pol…ZDR, Rho-HV, KDP…and LDR!

Up and scanning for @nsficechip.bsky.social IOP13! (I look so small!)

The Dog Days of DOW (a little less well known than the Dog Days of Summer 😎).

Suns out…concluding IOP12 for @nsficechip.bsky.social.

Storm currently is tornado-warned…collecting data with 🐄📡 @nsficechip.bsky.social

COW (🐄📡) collecting data in tornado-warned storm near Sundown, TX as part of @nsficechip.bsky.social

Scanning a storm near Morton, TX for @nsficechip.bsky.social IOP12 (yep, already on 12 😮)

Scanning tornado-warned storm near at Levelland, TX during @nsficechip.bsky.social IOP#11.

There’s always one…who chooses the dirt road 😁

The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins 💨🌊! I’ve been in 20+ hurricanes-including Helene, Milton & Cat-4 Laura. We are learning a lot about how intense winds make it to the surface. Read the latest NSF research agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

There is no such thing as the perfect deployment spot…but one without antenna smashing hail stones ain’t so bad 😁! Collecting data in a hail-producing storm for @nsficechip.bsky.social near Christoval, TX.

Adding to the local scenery 🤩…scanning hail-producing storms @nsficechip.bsky.social…and there is always a blue radar at the end of the rainbow

Almost a year later…collaborative analyses of DOW wind speeds and damage in the deadly Greenfield, IA tornado are underway in order to unravel the mysteries of how wind speeds compare to damage.

Scanning storms headed my way (maybe a left mover ‼️) for @nsficechip.bsky.social

Someone was feeling left out…

No need to be 🐄 confused 😁

All these people at my place to hear about me…wait, no…to hear about @nsficechip.bsky.social 😁! If you aren’t following the biggest hail project in history (with blue radars)…time to be in the know 😃…ICECHIP starts field operations on May 18th!! icechip.niu.edu

Where are you going to be this Saturday? Hiking a 14er? You know what’s more Colorado than 14ers? Hail 😁! …and there are no blue radars on 14ers 😁! So if you are in the greater Boulder area on May 17th come hang out with me at the ICECHIP open house to learn more about @nsficechip.bsky.social!

I’ve been labeled! I really don’t want to be confused with those other blue radars 🐄 😁 @nsficechip.bsky.social

🎶 I saw the sun ☀️ 😎 🎶. @nsficechip.bsky.social prep continues…

One billion little screws and 10s of feet of waveguide pieces later…tho the hands connecting the waveguide could have been a bit gentler 🤣…I am a radar 🤩! One step closer to @nsficechip.bsky.social!
