Continuing to catch up on my photography backlog: woutermol.com/photography/... - added 3 more among which this supercell base, a storm chasing highlight in the 2024 NL season

I've overhauled my website and will now start slowly publishing my backlog of photos: woutermol.com/photography/... - starting with this fun one from almost 2 years ago

Spectacular amount of fresh snow in the east Alps last week, photos taken on Saturday morning near Unterberg - at least 40 cm of powder but hard to tell due to snow drift #winter

Working on a fun cloud simulation

Is dit een test?

Freezing fog at ~450 m ASL just west of #Wien - it will probably melt at least a bit tomorrow

Exciting!

See here ICON-D2 at the low levels for a Vienna grid point. Photos taken at 450 m ASL, roughly 970 hPa. Sounding from last night is from Hohe Warte

Impressive hoarfrost conditions in the hills of Vienna today after at least a day supercooled fog + wind

Slipping and sliding to the U4 this morning, while it was raining

#Wien

One of the more well known sausage stands in Vienna I pass on the way to work - today with fresh snow

A fresh 4 to 5 cm of snow in Vienna today

Snow showers!

I struggle connecting the signals in the right half to the correct molecule, but it works surprisingly well otherwise :)

Vienna in December: 0 to 5 degrees, fog or drizzle

Something exciting that I'm currently working on is adding vertical cross-sections to the ESSL Radar Displayer. And one of the more interesting phenomena that I've seen in them is debris fallout from the tops of storms with violent tornadoes. Here is an example of precisely 4 years ago today:

Back home for a week of CAPE, wind shear, large hail, and maybe a tornado or two #ECSS ⚡

Good morning: closed cell structures in altocumulus lit by sunrise

4 weken geleden al op de post! (hoop dat het aangekomen is..)

Super circumzenithal arc

Fog rolling into Vienna this early morning

Another shot from early September. Mountain goat posing just long enough :)

Clouds forming along the ridge line of Hochzinoedl, Sept 27 this year

Awesome catch!

So this is pretty amazing - yesterday EarthCARE sampled Hurricane Humberto straight across the eye! The eye of a tropical cyclone is small so a direct hit is rare: this is the first time EarthCARE has hit one after over a year in orbit! (Showing here also VIIRS on NOAA-20 for context.)

Photo from the perspective of the NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft in the eye of Hurricane Erin. A blue ocean can be seen along with the clouds marking the edge of the hurricane's eyewall.

Lightning flashes within a powerful, Category 4 Hurricane Erin.

An incredible view this morning from GOES-19.

Unsuccessful (solo) chase in Styria, storms were too disorganized and in each other's way. At least the heat is gone for a few days
