THIS POST REFERS TO AN EVENT THAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST. WE HOPE TO HAVE THE RADAR WITH US SOON, BUT IT IS NOT A REGULAR FEATURE OF OUR PROGRAM.
Ever wanted to know what meteorology field work can be like? Ever seen those doppler radar on wheels on the TV and wondered what they do and how they do it? UF has an exciting opportunity to learn more about the use of mobile radar this coming September as the University of Oklahoma’s RaXPol radar-on-wheels, along with students and researchers will be coming in to town for some sea breeze field work from September 12-23.
The following events are available to UF and worldwide students and faculty who are interested in learning more:
- Student led workshop 3-6PM ET August 24 2022: This workshop will allow students to lead discussions on research development and radar field work, with the aim to develop some research aims for the upcoming field experiment. While faculty are welcome to attend, they should note that the primary goal of this workshop is for students to develop the plans with faculty experts acting in an advisory role. Register for the workshop using the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1EwynXyAYUNe-TevxUlvx34W5_eNomzB5ABPyD2qTDdo/viewform?edit_requested=true.
- Radar visit to UF Campus – Monday Sep 12 and Tuesday Sep 13, 9.30am-mid afternoon: Please stop by for an introduction to the radar equipment and to tour the vehicle and ask us anything! The radar will most likely be positioned outside Turlington Hall or at Flavet field. Further information to come.
