The ICECHIP field campaign to study hail in May - June 2025 is considered flexible, allowing deployment and the collection of hailstones from Texas to Montana and east towards the Mississippi River, where terrain permits.

Meet #SPLASHresearch Superheroes (& real-life alter egos) & discover their superpowers: providing critical measurements to help #PhysicalSciencesLab, #GlobalMonitoringLab & partners (incl. @CIRESnews, @CIRA) better understand Mtn West #weather & #water. bit.ly/3J8FkR0
ALT A sign with info about the SPLASH field campaign and some of the comic book-style versions of the observing equipment being used.

Thanks to a team of volunteer engineers and students, several dozen 3D printers are churning out PPE on the @CUBoulder campus. 🖨️
“The supply chain for a lot of this equipment is broken. We’re trying to help fill the gap.” #DoingMyPartCO
Meet the team ➟

Proud of all the ESRL scientists and partners involved in the #NOAA_ATOMIC field campaign! Some appear in this @CBSThisMorning feature. @ciresnews @cuiriss @CUBoulder
#NOAA_ATOMIC was featured on @CBSThisMorning! Learn more about why scientists were in Barbados for 6 weeks in an effort to get some “cirr-ious” knowledge on clouds. ☁️ ☁️

CIRES/@CUBoulderATOC's Gina Jozef and CIRES fellow John Cassano, and CIRES/@NOAA_ESRL's Gijs de Boer (@deboerg) use incredible drones from @CUEngineering to study the Arctic atmosphere.
Gina Jozef (#CUBoulder) is involved in #MOSAiCexpedition #drone operations:“Our drones can fly up to 1000m high, measuring temperature, wind, turbulence, etc. Our interest is to learn how the #Arctic atmospheric boundary layer responds to changes in surface features."📸C.Rohleder

Very happy to announce the TORUS project, an NSF- and NOAA-funded experiment to study supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes. More info to follow later but this @unlcas story is a good summary. @Atmo_TTU @NOAANSSL @cuiriss

Lovely to spend the day at Cold Springs fire filming with @milesobrien and the @novapbs crew. Thanks for coming out to learn more about @EarthLabCU. Understanding how fire is changing and how we can adapt are our key questions. @MECattau about to launch our @CUIRISS drone.

#AerospaceDay at the Capitol was a success and fantastic kick-off to AeroSpace week in Colorado!
Thank you, @GovofCO John Hickenlooper, for declaring the 3rd Monday of March for here on after “Colorado Aerospace Day”!
Onward!
