Yesterday, we were able to document the formation and evolution of a potentially significant tornado and satellite near Braman, OK, with RaXPol. Huge thanks to the crew, @lshedd123, @Fra_De_Martin, and Dr. Howie Bluestein for a successful day of field ops!

As part of a @forestservice field experiment, we collected RaXPol observations near a controlled burn in Florida! We were collocated with many other observing platforms that will be used to study the smoke properties, including lidar, solar, and particle and gas sensors.

RaXPol and MRR deployed for @SnowIMPACTS at SUNY Albany! Multiple radars, now that’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! @OUARRC @UAlbanyDAES
