Today was the last of 555 Coptersonde flights for the @armnewsteam TRACER project.
50% of flights were piloted by PhD student @FrancescaLappin fittingly piloting this final flight. She took on leadership in TRACER & aced it! So proud!
We love a woman leader in field science!
In a new environment, new opportunity presents itself! The strengths of CASS in UAS development combined with the strengths in @NOAANSSL and @OUAGS/@ousom in boundary-layer observation made for one potent combination…

New twitter, who’s this?
You might notice our new look and new name. What used to be the OU Center for Autonomous Sensing and Sampling, or CASS has been absorbed into @CIWRO_, where the research and development of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) is continuing!

@eeeeelizzzzz@Nolan_Meister Been there, done that! I once actually fell asleep sitting upright in my office while talking to a student during office hours!! I think that I was only asleep for a few seconds, but it was a bit weird for both of us. 😴
NSSL scientists are in MS today preparing for the 1st day of PERiLS, funded by @NOAA & @NSF to better understand how tornadoes form in squall lines & one of the largest severe storm field projects to date. Instruments are where @NWSSPC predicts tornadoes may occur on Tue.
