IRISS is prepping for hail season! RAAVEN-9 rests near the tarmac where the IRISS team has prepped a few "hailstones" for test runs. Gogo @nsf_icechip!

Our team enjoyed talking to @davelevitan about the TRACER deployment. Check out the story! grid.news/story/science/2022…

J. Hamilton (CIRES/NOAA) prepares the HELiX near Gothic, CO as part of #SPLASHresearch. HELiX collects surveys of snow reflectivity and cover to assist research of hydrology and hydrometeorology in the Colorado River basin. @armnewsteam @CIRESnews @NOAAComms @NOAA_ESRL
The IRISS team just completed a three-week field deployment using the Super Raaven UAS to conduct autonomous targeted observation of severe convective storms. The IRISS team conducted four coordinated UAS missions on three separate severe convective storms. Great job, team!

IRISS was able to successfully test our new Enterprise Mount onboard the RAAAVEN aircraft. The purpose of testing done today is to increase the quality of our data as we prepare for future deployments. We are excited by the initial review of our data! #CUIRISS #CUEngineering
IRISS recently flew our RAAVENs among the wind turbines! Thanks to NREL for letting us explore their campus. #CUEngineering #CUIRISS

Usually, when a balloon is launched to the stratosphere, it is carried considerable distances. Not so last week when a high-pressure system produced almost no upper or lower level winds. Big thanks to Aaron in Littleton! #CUEngineering #CUIRISS

IRISS has been putting our 3D printing equipment from the fab lab to use in the fight against COVID-19. A small production line has been set up at the home of Engineering Manager, Steve Borenstein, to produce face shields for doctors and nurses.
Happening now! #AskTORUS19
We are go for launch! 🔥
Tweet us the questions you have for our @CUIriss team using #AskTORUS19 and our team on the ground will answer them.
Here we all are! #TORUS19

Project TORUS is in Oklahoma today, researching this system. Stay safe, Oklahoma! @CUEngineering
Multiple strong tornadoes and flash floods are expected today from west Texas into Oklahoma, as a tropical air mass is overtopped by a winterlike upper low and a powerful jet stream. NOAA has issued a high risk of severe weather. bit.ly/2VVfdZe
Look at us! We're in the air! Thanks to @CUEngineering and @DenverChannel for coming out as we prep for Project TORUS.

IRISS Deputy Director Cory Dixon with @GovofCO at our booth this morning. A great day to be at #Xponential18! xitter.gq/CUIndustry/status/9920…
Thank you, @GovofCO Hickenlooper, for paying our CU Boulder booth a visit at @AUVSIshow 2018.
CU is proud to be the leader in UAV innovation in CO.
Rain is pouring today, but the future is bright with CU in the sky!
