Una de las partes más apreciadas de #ICECHIP fue la gran participación estudiantil, con más de 70 estudiantes de más de 13 universidades contribuyendo a la recolección de datos. ¡Les agradecemos por su arduo trabajo y por lo que ha sido una experiencia fantástica al inicio de sus carreras!
One of the most cherished parts of #ICECHIP was the large student involvement, with more than 70 students from over 13 universities contributing to the data collection. We thank them for their hard work and what a fantastic experience early in their careers!
Después de 42 días y más de 15,000 millas recorridas, #ICECHIP completó 24 POIs en 11 estados, incluyendo zonas a menos de 75 millas tanto de la frontera con México como de la frontera con Canadá...
After 42 days and 15,000 + miles driven, #ICECHIP completed 24 IOPs across 11 states, including within 75 miles from both the Mexico and Canada borders. This totaled more than 10,000 hailstones collected by our teams while data was gathered on different types of hailstorms!
Our 23rd #ICECHIP deployment yesterday was successful, and the sunset was incredible. This was Purdue's final day on this historic project that I'm grateful to have been a part of. Next up is a very long drive south to bring the instruments home 🫡
Hoy será nuestro “último baile” (oficialmente) con tormentas serveras graniceras en Dakota del Norte para el proyecto #ICECHIP. Hicimos historia al recolectar, medir y aplastar más de 10,000 granizos en aproximadamente 20 días...
Today will be our “last dance” (officially) with severe hailstorms in North Dakota for the #ICECHIP effort. History was made as we collected, measured, and crushed over 10,000 hailstones across ~20 days. We are excited for the dataset that will be analyzed for many years to come!

A medida que nos acercamos a nuestros últimos días en las Planicies con #ICECHIP, ¡queremos agradecer enormemente a nuestros operadores de COW (PSU) y al equipo de apoyo de COW (CU Boulder)…
As we head into our final days out in the Plains with #ICECHIP, we would like to give a huge thank you to our COW operators (PSU) and COW support (CU Boulder) for the long and hard hours they put in to making sure this C-band radar gathers the best data possible!
#ICECHIP hace su regreso final al este de Wyoming hoy en busca de granizo de gran tamaño que puede ocurrir con cualquier tormenta eléctrica esta tarde. Por favor, etiquétennos si encuentran granizo interesante o de gran tamaño en esta área.
#ICECHIP makes its final return to eastern Wyoming today in search of large hail that may occur with any given thunderstorm this afternoon. Please tag us with interesting and large hail in this area!
Sometimes we get to do other fun things during field campaigns. A hike at Scotts Bluff National Monument this evening was one of them for me #ICECHIP
Supercell from #ICECHIP 's 20th deployment on June 20th at the ND/SD border. Lots of strong winds with this storm, but most importantly hail too that was collected!
Después de más de 30 horas conduciendo desde Montana hasta la región del Panhandle de Texas y de regreso hacia el norte en los últimos días, los equipos de #ICECHIP han regresado al paralelo 46, ¡esta vez en Dakota del Norte!…
After more than 30 hours of driving from MT to the TX panhandle and back north over the last few days, #ICECHIP teams have returned to the 46th parallel, this time in ND! Ground team and radar deployments on severe storms will occur this afternoon as significant hail is possible.
#ICECHIP is working its way into southern Kansas for the severe hail threat this afternoon! A reminder that if you find very large hailstones and preserve them with date, time, and lat/lon, you can transfer them to one of our teams.
¡Los equipos de #ICECHIP continúan avanzando hacia el norte para sus operaciones mientras entran en Montana por primera vez! Esta tarde hay probabilidad de tormentas dispersas con granizo severo, lo que brindará a nuestros equipos la oportunidad de recopilar datos sobre estos fenómenos.
#ICECHIP teams continue to push north for operations as we head into Montana for the first time today! Scattered storms with severe hail will be possible this afternoon for our teams to collect data on.
I've been home for almost week after a crew swap, so I've lost track of the deployments. But, I was in Texas before coming home, and I'm grateful to have been there for IOP12 (to me, our most successful ground deployment yet). #ICECHIP
#ICECHIP se dirige hacia el este de Wyoming esta tarde en busca de tormentas que produzcan granizo acumulativo. No hay muchos estudios enfocados en estas tormentas marginales con granizo pequeño en abundancia y pueden llegar a afectar el tráfico.
#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.
Mientras entramos en unos días de clima relativamente tranquilo, los equipos de #ICECHIP se abrirán camino hacia el centro/norte de las Grandes Llanuras después de pasar muchos días en el panhandle de Texas. Se espera que las operaciones se reanuden a mediados de semana.
As we enter a few days of relatively quiet weather, #ICECHIP teams will be working their way into the central/northern Great Plains after spending many days in the TX panhandle! Operations expected to resume mid-week.
El radar Doppler móvil es una parte clave del conjunto de datos recolectados en #ICECHIP. La FaRM (Red Flexible de Radares y Mesonets por sus siglas en inglés Flexible Array of Radars and Mesonets) cuenta con dos radares de banda X y dos de banda C para el monitoreo y escaneo de tormentas de granizo
Mobile doppler radar is a key part of the growing #ICECHIP dataset! FARM (Flexible Array of Radars and Mesonets) provides two X-band and two C-band radars for scanning hailstorms.
My shift at #ICECHIP is done! More than twenty hailsondes have been launched into hailstorm updrafts and many more to go over the next three weeks. Thanks to the amazing team of scientists, tech staff and students who made this possible!
Posible granizo esta tarde en el Panhandle de Texas y los equipos de #ICECHIP estarán muy atentos. ¡Hoy será un gran caso de derretimiento de granizos, con un nivel de congelación alrededor de 4.5 km!
Significant hail possible this afternoon in the Texas panhandle and #ICECHIP teams will be on the hunt! Today will be a great case of melting hailstones with a freezing level around 4.5 km.
