IMPACTS

NASA field project aimed at investigating microphysics and precipitation for Atlantic Coast-threatening snowstorms. Account managed by University of Washington.

[IMPACTS @SnowIMPACTS]

Project PI @McMurdieLynn gave a #AMS2024 hyperwall presentation showcasing IMPACTS.

Come by our Data Breakout Session to learn more about the datasets we publicly provide!

Erin Potter, who teaches #Meteorology at #SUNYSchenectady, helps lead a team of @ualbany students who recently launched weather balloons from the UAlbany campus as part of a @NASA field campaign called IMPACTS re: snowstorms. https://t.co/zLQmObjpC9 #womenshistorymonth

The IMPACTS team flew their last ever flight on February 28 after three years, 18 weeks of flights, and copious data collected. Just during the 2023 deployment, the P-3 completed 19 flights, and traveled 32,928 miles over the course of 118.2 hours.

Ever wonder what the vibe is like on an IMPACTS flight day? This @NASAExpeditions 🧵 has you covered.

[ARCHIVED - NASA Expeditions @NASAExpeditions]

Join us for a day in the life of an IMPACTS flight. As you can imagine the schedule changes like the weather… pun intended.

Day 2️⃣ of @NASAExpeditions coverage of IMPACTS covers our amazing team of scientists 👩‍🔬 and flight crew 👨‍✈️. We all miss each other already!

[ARCHIVED - NASA Expeditions @NASAExpeditions]

Welcome to the who’s who of IMPACTS! It takes many hands to get the P-3 ready to conduct science safely. Take a look to meet just a few of the many!

[IMPACTS @SnowIMPACTS]

Follow @NASAExpeditions this week as they cover the ins and outs of our 3-year mission that just wrapped up!

The winter storm is taking shape as we get ready for our *last* IMPACTS flight early in the morning. You can track what our aircraft are up to here:

…and to close out #IMPACTS2023! We’ll be drawing up flight plans and coordinating with @NWSEastern offices and universities to have a fleet of measurements from the air ✈️ and ground 🎈

[NWS Eastern Region @NWSEastern]

A storm tracking across the Great Lakes Monday will redevelop off the New Jersey coast Monday night, bringing some snow to most of the Northeast to close out the month of February.

Summary of this week's mixed precip event @UAlbanyDAES from our MRR-2 radar, Parsivel distrometer, and @SnowIMPACTS soundings. They nicely highlight the p-type transitions. Credit to grad. student Massey Bartolini for the great plots: https://t.co/5Og5CfTY5v

Also a shoutout to @NWSGreenBay @NWSGaylord @NWSDetroit for the extra 🎈 support and @Dr_Pettersen for the ground measurements!

The @NASA_Wallops P-3 is off to fly through a winter storm in Wisconsin and Michigan. We have our 🤞🏻 for ❄️!

[Chris Schultz @cschultzwx]

Excited about today's @SnowIMPACTS flight because we're observing electrified snowbands which are not producing #lightning, but generating fields on the order of 100-200 V m-1. Key measurements for understanding how these systems charge up and also generate lots of snow. #mewx

[IMPACTS @SnowIMPACTS]

We are flying over Minnesota and our planes are the most tracked on https://t.co/PHLwzUpWmK

[IMPACTS @SnowIMPACTS]

We'll also have our fair share of extra soundings 🎈 from @NWSMoreheadCity @NWSRaleigh @NWS_BaltWash @ATMS_Illinois @MUweather @ncsusoundings @UNCAweather and radar/ground measurements @NASA_Wallops @NASAAtmosphere

[IMPACTS @SnowIMPACTS]

Interesting things happen when mission scientists draw up pretend flight plans to support their favorite team #FlyEaglesFly

Tomorrow's actual flight plan will be off the VA/NC coast and near the Chesapeake Bay.
