Did you see the wall of dust as it charged toward #Lubbock and @TexasTech today? The dust was picked up by strong outflow from a cluster of severe thunderstorms as they moved toward the city. #TxWx

The teams are fully deployed, safe, and waiting out #helene , thoughts to all impacted!

The trucks are ready and the platforms are charged! TTUHRT is preparing to deploy all StickNets ahead of #BERYL should the TX coastline be directly impacted. #txwx

Last week, field researchers with the “LIFT” project intercepted a violent 🌪️ tornado southeast of Duke, Okla.

The data gathered could prove significant in our understanding of tornado winds at ground level.

We have not 1, but 2 grad school acceptance celebrations today! Michael and Ethan will both be attending Texas Tech in the fall in the pursuit of their MS degrees. Congrats to you both! We can’t wait to see what you do in the future 🎊

[Alex Schueth @ASchueth]

On 5/19/24, the @Atmo_TTU & @TTUNWI Ka radars captured their best tornado dataset yet outside of Custer City, OK. The radars were able to continuously capture 6 minutes of evolution near it's peak intensity, including multiple vortices, all in the lowest 50 m AGL.

Dan was my first ever MS student as an assistant professor at @Atmo_TTU! He has accomplished so much in research and life in the last 10 years and it’s fun being able to continue collaborations. He is now onto a big exciting job 👇

[Texas Tech University Hurricane Research Team @TTUHRT]

We are so thankful for Dr. Mehta and his work at NWI! @TTUNWI

[Michael French @StonyBrook_RAM]

Many thanks to @Atmo_TTU for hosting me for a seminar on Friday. It was great to be back visiting, see the facilities, and had great discussions with students and faculty, @deeplycloudy @ArdonDryer @ASchueth @jmeso212 @JoshO_wx and others!

[NWS Lubbock @NWSLubbock]

Meteorologist Joe Merchant from our office and @Atmo_TTU Prof. Johannes Dahl are keeping an eye on the potential for thunderstorms later this evening during @TexasTechFB's first home game vs Oregon starting at 6pm CDT. #lubwx @TechAthletics

[Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy]

We have a new NASA project at @atmo_TTU @TTUNWI, led by Prof. Pal in collaboration with other MSIs around the country, to engage underserved groups in working with NASA precipitation science and aerosol measurements! Thanks @latinolubbock for the story! https://t.co/7rTEwbYctw

[TORUS @TORUSupercell]

After a 2-year delay, the first days of #TORUS22 are finally underway! We have been spending some time traversing the great state of #Kansas, targeting convection and shaking off the rust so that our entire team can work flawlessly for the next month. See you out there! #TORUS22

[Clarence Smith @clarencewlsmith]

Either it’s going to be good, or there’s slim pickens for storms to see @Atmo_TTU this far north. #iawx #mnwx

[Aaron Ward @AMWWX]

Join me at 5 PM CST to discuss findings from a collaborative field project looking at how to better forecast extreme heat within #PaloDuroCayon terrain. We also take a brief look at dryline-terrain interactions. #AMS2022 @NWSAmarillo @Atmo_TTU @wtamu https://t.co/WlolzPREIY

[Karin Ardon-Dryer @ArdonDryer]

What an amazing work by Maiya May (@maiyamay_), Ryan Walsh (@ryanwalshguitar), and everyone else at @PBS - thank you for shining the light on the issue and for letting me be part of it.

ICYMI: Texas Tech is helping track Hurricane Ida. Here's how:

[Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy]

Texas Tech’s math department is searching for several assistant professors, including in fluid mechanics and scientific computing / data science. Some opportunities for collaboration with @Atmo_TTU if you have a weather or SciPy background. https://t.co/doHkwwuWHW

[Texas Tech Atmo. Sci @Atmo_TTU]

Congratulations Isaac Arseneau (@icastorm_wx) for successfully defending his masters thesis last Friday on the value of upper-air targeted observations using ensemble sensitivity analysis. Way to go!

[Texas Tech Atmo. Sci @Atmo_TTU]

Congratulations Zyanya Ramirez-Diaz for successfully defending her masters thesis on the impact of clay particles on lung cells!

[TTUResearch @TTUResearch]

.@TexasTech along with four other institutions chosen by @NOAA have created the Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations (CISHIWRO). #RaiderResearch https://t.co/XpjP79hTqd
