✈️We’re fly-nally ready to share some great news:

We've received funding from @NSF for a state-of-the-art radar that will be a transformational tool for understanding extreme wx. The Airborne Phased Array Radar (APAR) will be flown on our C-130.

Really pleased that our radar network was able to help with detection and warning during the recent tornado outbreak.

A week from today, June 1, 2021, marks the 10th anniversary of the devastating EF3 tornado which traveled 38 miles through parts of western & central MA. In this Story Map we go through the events of the day & the meteorology behind this devastating storm. https://t.co/gzyS3EKsKh

@tornatrix Great to start your collection!

Interesting dynamics captured by the SKYLER X-band phased array radar (top panels) during last week’s snowstorm and an interesting comparison with NEXRAD (yes, it is animated as well) @BrookhavenLab @SoMAS @stonybrooku @armnewsteam

[Geoscience TU Delft @GRS_TUDelft]

Very proud of our @grspaco and everybody else who is involved in the Harmony mission proposal! Great work!

Washington, D.C. — Capella’s 50 cm x 50 cm Spot imagery captures the beauty of the United States Capitol. The dome is an ambitious work of neoclassical architecture only surpassed by the democracy which it represents.

Impressive storm exhibited supercell like characteristics as it dropped southward through the Pioneer Valley.

[UMassRadar @UMassRadar]

Likely the strongest wind feature we observed tonight on the leading edge of the line. Crossed Rt. 63 south of Millers Falls and into a protected forest area. #MAWX

[UMassRadar @UMassRadar]

@kurdzowx @WX1BOX @NWSBoston Thanks. It was a briefly impressive storm.

You can use the small gray clock icon on the top left of the website to peruse data from the past.

[UMassRadar @UMassRadar]

Observed quite strong low level winds near Southampton and Easthampton.

[UMassRadar @UMassRadar]

3/4" hail was reported with this storm per Skywarn on the Amherst/Belchertown line

#mawx

[UMassRadar @UMassRadar]

Storm scale rotation present... a possible indicator of hail for the Severe Thunderstorm warned storm over Hadley.

[UMassRadar @UMassRadar]

Strong storms over the valley ongoing...

Nice local (in Indiana) news story about our work with Purdue University to study severe weather with phased-array radar technology. UMass has customized a prototype of the Skyler radar system from @Raytheon for this work.

[WLFI News 18 @WLFI]

Students from Purdue's Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences department will be heading towards Tornado Alley for part of Purdue's Severe Storms Field Work course. https://t.co/uyzACNhpqH
