Texas Tech Storm Chasing Team (2015-2016)

Intern

Texas Tech provided invaluable insight into the importance of safety during a severe storm. Under the director of the National Wind Institute and Department Head of Atmospheric Sciences, Dr. Schroeder, learned how to effectively manage a fleet of data probes to enhance a successful storm chase. Was introduced to the significance of hitting project goals by implementing deliverables and identification of critical paths for preparation of 2016’s spring chase season. Keeping STICKNET ready at the ready was crucial due to the simple fact storms do not follow a typical 9-5 nor do they take a day off. A valuable lesson was learned to incorporate a tight maintenance schedule to keep STICKNET at the ready.

Deployed and maintained STICKNET, an atmospheric weather data collection system designed to be placed on the perimeter of a storm.
