Our ATM 480 Atmospheric Science Fieldwork class has been launching radiosondes as part of the University Coordinated Radiosonde Project. These data will be used for experiments to determine how additional atmospheric measurements can improve winter weather forecasts.

Looking for an exiting post-doc in the next year? I'm conducting initial outreach to solicit interest in a new position linked to our NASA-funded Pyrocumulonimbus Experiment (PYREX). Some details below, and I can be contacted via my UNR email (unr.edu/physics/people/neil-…)

Wow. Crazy-low ice year on the Great Lakes.
NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory@NOAA_GLERL16 May 2024
That's a wrap! Ice season in the #GreatLakes has officially concluded with a seasonal average of 4.3%, a record low since records began in 1973. noaaglerl.blog/2024/05/16/a-…

Now that one-minute ASOS station data is available for the US for Monday's solar eclipse, here's a loop of the 30-minute temperature change from the eclipse. Even locations far from totality experienced a pronounced drop in temperatures due to the decreased solar radiation!
