WTAMU Students were glad to have Professor Sandip Pal and his student visit from Texas Tech University. Dr. Pal is a boundary-layer expert and will be providing his expertise for the study. Unfortunately, we did not get any group photos, as the visit was so fun we forgot to take them!

After a remarkably cool late June through late July period, a high pressure ridge brought the first triple-digit heat to the Palo Duro Canyon State Park on Saturday 24th of July (101.8 degrees at the floor West Texas Mesonet station). WTAMU students will be out collecting data next week with National Weather Service forecasts near 100 degrees each day for the Canyon.
Successful Intensive Observational Period (IOP) observations were conducted on Wed 30 July. Photos from the field observations follow below. Multiple transects and the first morning and afternoon weather balloon launches, as well as some tethersonde observations before it got too windy.
