14 the corridor project begins with students from the van den heever group launching a sounding for more information about corridor and to view all sounding data visit the corridor webpage rachael and phoebe about to launch the sounding may 7 the group is featured in two source articles about using drones in atmospheric science christine nick and leah talk about their work in this article about using drones to sample cold pools aboard the meteor research vessel in the atlantic ocean they also shared 10 interesting details about working with weather drones in a second article here christine flies a drone on the meteor one of the weather drones in flight may 7 charles wins the silva dias award for his exceptional research on bioaerosol transport in convective storms the silva dias award is bestowed on a senior ph d student in the department of atmospheric science for outstanding research congrats to charles for his well deserved award charles receiving the silva dias award charles

jennie gave a talk on the incus modeling efforts and also presented her work on ice aggregation in thunderstorm anvils jennie s presentation about incus modeling april 16 tune into pbs this wednesday night the 22nd for rain bombs a nova documentary featuring the van den heever group s field work see this source article for information on how to view the episode april 11 brenda and christine participate in april s breakfast fly in for the wings over the rockies exploration of flight museum they showcase drones and our innovative instrumentation strategy to aviation enthusiasts of all ages and discuss how drones radars and targeted airplane flights help us study high impact weather phenomena such as cold pools convective storms and hurricanes brenda and christine at their table ready for discussion christine discussing how we use drones in field campaigns april 8 professor kristen rasmussen and brenda were featured in a 9news story describing the incus mission and the ground based data collection in northern colorado that was part of the time slice pre launch field campaign they talked about the mission and new radar techniques needed for validating incus in front of the backdrop of the csu chivo radar a key asset for incus calibration and validation march 25 rachael successfully defends her master s thesis titled systematic relationships between overshooting top
