@Keithwxtech I don’t see the pitot

Epic rainbow along Truckee River in west Reno on Friday May 2nd! @NWSReno @unevadareno

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

@Keithwxtech Ah the challenges! Cannot simulate this in a lab or wind tunnel!!

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

@Keithwxtech Great to have the pitot in the mix and should get some respectable winds soon!! Thank you for all of the help with the testing!

Here is the full press release on our Aconcagua Proyecto Wayra @TkrMatthews86 @MWObs @RMYoungCompany https://t.co/0vIKNOIKCT

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Excited to share the below news about a new weather station network on the highest mountain in the Americas. Argentine partners at @ianigla led by Pierre Pitte were exceptional. Excited to watch/analyze data! @TkrMatthews86 @MWObs @InsideNatGeo

[University of Nevada, Reno @unevadareno]

On February 18, @UNRScience geography professor Baker Perry led an expedition to install the highest weather station in the world outside Asia. @InsideNatGeo @Kings_SGA @kclgeography @unrcabnr

A weather geek look at yesterdays graupel fest @AltaSkiArea, including a comparison with the mother of all Alta graupel storms on January 5, 2008 and comparisons with snow extremes in the Andes (h/t @BakerPerry1).

@moaleck @EFisherWX @Mtnbiker15 Yep! And we wrote about this possibility in the NC Climate Report, among others topics such as TCs and mountain flooding and debris flows . . .

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Our team has just published an article that analyzes snow water equivalent from the SnowFox cosmic ray detector on Mera Glacier in the Nepal Himalaya. Congrats to Navaraj Pokhrel for leading! @UNRScience @appstate @TkrMatthews86 @GlacioBrun @AriKhadka1 https://t.co/vSJqjheq38

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Congrats to @Max_VWDV on leading this new paper using our Everest weather station network data. Great application using machine learning to improve forecasts in high mountains. @TkrMatthews86 @InsideNatGeo @ROLEX @UNRScience

[Max Van Wyk de Vries @Max_VWDV]

New paper using machine learning workflows to downscale global weather forecasts to local conditions. We use a new weather station network on Mt Everest (up to 8810 m elevation!) to forecast meteorological hazards on the summit path.

@WaterPotential Yes! I had him for Bonkistry as did my father back in the 60s. His lectures were incredible!

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Ph.D. opportunity in the Department of Geography at @unevadareno! Application deadline is 15 December 2024 with a start date of August 2025. Details below. @UNRScience @TkrMatthews86 @glacier_glasses @realglacier @GlacioBrun @AriKhadka1 @DrMiriamJackson

@Keithwxtech Looking good!!

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

@kclgeography @TkrMatthews86 @NatGeoTV @DisneyPlusUK Oh yeah!!!!

Huge numbers of trees down near Fall Creek VFD Station 1 in Old Beech Mtn, NC (Avery County) from #helene. Electric coop says 4-6 WEEKS for power restoration. Took 5 gallons of gas & 2 days just to clear this section. @VanDamCNN @wxbrad @NWSGSP @WataugaOnline @NCSCO

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

@TomNiziol Got the data from our mountain top station on Poga Mountain in northern Avery County and had a peak gust of 74.4 mph.

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Update on #helene from NC State Climate Office. Thank you Corey Davis, @KathieDello @spheuser https://t.co/huxzmzb54a

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Fall Creek VFD Asst Chief Josh Phillips shared the below video with me from Station 2 on Buckeye Rd (Avery Cty, NC). Road is completely swept away and station is cut off. (Video credit: Josh Phillips, Fall Creek VFD). Urgent need for cell service restoration for comms. @NWSGSP

[Baker Perry @BakerPerry1]

Absolutely devastating news from Chimney Rock, NC. There are likely many more similar scenes that we will learn about in coming days/weeks. #helene

[The Citizen Times @asheville]

"I’m not sure what they’re going to do to get us out of here." A river near Chimney Rock, NC, burst its banks, leaving residents stranded.
