No worries! hope this is better?

An add on to Tomer's plot here: some more data showing wind speed and direction as we ascended and descended in the eye with some pivotal points labeled.

Final full descent sounding for this go around. Balloon is going back up and we'll keep doing that loop as long as Dolphin will let us.

So uh, we're doing a thing and it's very fucking cool

I forgot how funny Dusty’s suck zone bit was

Time for the annual rush hour billion dollar hail storm in DFW I guess. And both Rangers and Stars are playing in the area today. Big yikes.

RFD on the tor-warned storm near St. Louis is clearly visible on reflectivity

We've even added a region today, active indefinitely, over the high plains where GSBs will take soundings more aggressively and closer to ground than is typical. I'd expect a decent percentage of these to also go to NOAA. Here's that region with the past week's GSB paths that passed through it.

WindBorne is here to help! These soundings, all completed from 00Z to 12Z 13 April, were all delivered to NOAA and assimilated in to GFS. Can't completely replace radiosondes, but it's certainly helpful.

Serial philanderers don’t belong in public office because they’ve already failed the moral character test.

Big gubberment doesn’t want you to know that chemtrails are controlling our waterfalls

Right on time

I know next to nothing abt ML, but w/ Opus 4.6 I trained a little algo w/ GFS data on a dataset built solely on telemetry from 12 million GSB txs to predict where we shouldn't fly. Here's what that looks like for a couple flights. Brown dashes is our current simple algo's min height.

For reference, here's the 21Z HRRR forecast for that location overlayed on top.

Here's the hodograph from the @windbornewx.bsky.social sounding out of Norman, Oklahoma at 2149 UTC with the observed motion of the cell to the west of Norman (NNE at 36 kts) #okwx

Update: I piped in the @mesonet.org Norman observations to interpolate the ~65m of missing data below our first balloon ob. More CAPE, less CIN. Less shear :(

This sounding was released at 1937UTC out of Norman. That's uh, a lot of CIN lol.

So uh, does anyone have any experience with seeing this rectangle in Lake Superior from the GMTED2010 elevation data? Looks like it's in the actual data. See the final page. pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1073...

I will take any chance to show of this goober who absolutely knows his angles

Timeline cleanse. Joey had to teach Thor to like popcorn, but now he begs just as hard for it as he does for chicken or cheese.

And just like that, Norman has a @windbornewx.bsky.social balloon launch site! We got a good sample of the cold front that passed through overnight. Looking forward to getting lots of good soundings from OK, esp. on severe weather days.
