.Cass_ou, in coordination with personnel from the Max Westheimer Airport, completed the first dedicated and targeted weather observations at a towered airport in the US with an unmanned aerial vehicle. #UAV #OUResearch ou.edu/research-norma…

This was a really fascinating experience. Each group was so different, but all were passionate about advancing boundary layer research within the NWC. I'm looking forward to continuing this effort!

Idk what @jeremy_gibbs and the rest of the GAFFE committee is talking about here, but I'm honored to receive my first Gibbsy!

If anyone going to AMS is interested in my talk, I will be presenting on Tuesday January 12th at 4:25 pm as a part of the 21st Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation! #AMS2021

Today we joined NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory for a collaborative damage survey of the EF-1 tornado in Vivian, LA. Their research team is utilizing a drone and fixed-wing aircraft to study damage patterns and help us better understand the violent winds of tornadoes.

Thanks to a collaborative survey with NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory we discovered that the track was longer with the Vivian tornado on February 28th. Unmanned aerial surveys from a drone and a fixed-wing aircraft were helpful to extend the damage path length to 1.5 miles.

Started writing my dissertation while doing UAS damage surveys earlier this year, so it's only fitting that I submit it while doing the same #fieldwork #PhDone

Inaugural NOTAMS for the QLCS Tornadoes CopterSonde mission are up! It has taken almost a full year of regulatory hurdles and finding/training personnel to get this organized, but it is finally happening! Now we're off to show each team their site

First QLCS Tornadoes CopterSonde flight started promptly at 5am!

While Tony Segalés is winning the max altitude game, Elizabeth Smith and I are winning the number of flights within an hour of a tornado warning over us

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! 1/n

Weather-sensing #UAS (wxUAS) can bring detailed insight into processes that occur in the lowest part of the atmosphere. By flying multiple wxUAS simultaneously, scientists can study how the atmosphere is changing spatially as severe weather approaches. Tyler Bell #AMS2023

BLISS group members Tyler Bell Josh Gebauer and Elizabeth Smith are out in the field today deploying one of the CLAMPS research facilities! NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory

OU sends out an alert for every scooter that gets stolen but apparently goes radio silent after a tornado hits a location where many of their students live and cuts off a major route to campus.

Some of our UAS weather scientists visited the brilliant Aviation II classes at Oklahoma Aviation Academy. We're looking forward to what these future UAS leaders might bring to weather research. Next time, come fly with us, Norman Public Schools! Tyler Bell Tony Segalés
