Let It Snow for Science

When the weather outside is frightful…

Science in the field gets even more delightful. Two different missions are in the field right now, studying snow and how it affects communities around the country.

From our Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, the IMPACTS mission is flying up and down the East Coast, investigating how snow forms inside clouds. In Grand Mesa, Colorado, SnowEx’s teams on the ground and in the air are taking a close look at how much water is stored in snow.

Hate going out in the storm? The IMPACTS mission can help with that! IMPACTS uses two planes – a P-3 Orion and an ER-2 – flying through and high above the clouds to study where intense bands of snowfall form. Better understanding where intense snow will fall can improve forecast models down the road — helping prepare communities for snowstorms.

Cameras mounted on the wings of the P3 took microscopic images of snowflakes, like this one.

At the same time, the SnowEx team is in Colorado, studying the depth and density of snow. Researchers are making radar spirals with snowmobiles and working in giant snow pits to measure things like snow water equivalent, or how much water is stored in snow.

SnowEx is helping us better understand snow’s role in ecosystems and human systems, like irrigation for agriculture. If you want to bring some corn for popping, SnowEx’s science can help grow that crop.

February 14th, 2020. Feminist activists protest in the streets of Queretaro (México). The motive was Ingrid Escamilla’s gruesome femicide and the indiference from the government towards the femicide epidemic (10 women are killed every day in Mexico, due to gender-based violence).

Trump Campaign ‘Laundering’ Campaign Finance Money, Election Watchdog Says

A new complaint alleges that the Trump reelection team has taken its opaque spending so far that it is, in effect, breaking election laws.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess these "hidden payments" are going to Trump's properties....since, you know, he's trying to hide how their operations work and who they pay...

Remember this?:

This is $380k of donor money from Trump's campaign, divided up into 43 separate payments to Trump's properties for a "donors retreat."

If there's smoke, there's fire.
