#ICECHIP makes its way into eastern Wyoming this afternoon in search of storms that produce accumulating hail. These marginal storms with plentiful small hail are not well understood and can be disruptive to traffic.

#DidYouKnow the @IBHShailstudy team uses a handheld 3D laser scanner to create 3D-printed models of real #hailstones? These replicas help us: 💨 Study #hailstone aerodynamics 🧊 Produce cavity molds for ice impact testing 🛰️ Model radar scattering based on natural hail shapes

IOP 15 ✅ Today’s storm brought snow plow #hail to the ICECHIP and Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety teams for another great case!

What is the 411 on @NSF_ICECHIP? ℹ️ Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety researchers have been on a 6-week #hail deployment since May, and we're going back to the basics on the project with the lead PI Dr. Becky Adams-Selin from Verisk - atmospheric and environmental research. Check it out!

King of the hill! 🐄📡 up and scanning in northeast WY ahead of anticipated hail-producing storms later today for ICECHIP

.@ibhs_org and ICECHIP Teams are staged in Gillette, Wyoming ready for IOP 1️⃣ 6️⃣

The Inside Scan: Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety's Lucas Faulkner explains his role on ICECHIP and the unique data 3D scanning adds to the project.

Saturday: ICECHIP teams station in Forsyth, Montana to make preps for IOP 17. Teams expect to remain in the Northern Plains for the few operation days.

. ICECHIP teams are stationed near Winnett, #Montana this afternoon ahead of IOP18.

Hail Cam got a small addition today from IBHS Hail Study so we can watch hail bounce off shingles in slow mo! #hailscience

Sunday: ICECHIP teams were able to deploy on two storms today in #Montana, capturing a LP supercell transition to a classic supercell, as well as the transition of a HP supercell to a bowing segment.

RECAP: Sunday was a busy day for ICECHIP teams in southeast #Montana. @IBHS_ORG Lead Research Meteorologist Dr. Ian Giammanco shares a recap of a successful IOP 18!

As the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety teams are going into their final week of ICECHIP, IBHS Lead Research Meteorologist Dr. Ian Giammanco shares his expectations of what's ahead.

Tuesday: ICECHIP teams are ferrying from Fort Morgan, CO to Johnson City, KS this morning in preparation for IOP 19 this afternoon in the moderate risk area.

I’ll process the images better later but it’s entertaining watching 2.5-3” diameter stones bounce off IBHS Hail Study test shingles. And casual Wellfleet tor in the background.

The work continues even after storms have passed. This morning Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety and Central Michigan U. teams are dumping disdrometer data, 3D scanning #hailstones, and analyzing shingle panels after a successful ICECHIP IOP 19 in #Oklahoma on Tuesday.
