Ping. Ping. Ping. AP takes you into the heart of a hailstorm with storm-chasing scientists to find out how better to forecast & reduce the annual $10B in damage. Join me, @BrittanyKPeters & @CKaster inside a Texas hailstorm. Hear it. See it. Feel it. apnews.com/article/storm-…

The work continues even after storms have passed. This morning @IBHS_org and @CMUniversity teams are dumping disdrometer data, 3D scanning #hailstones, and analyzing shingle panels after a successful @nsf_icechip IOP 19 in #Oklahoma on Tuesday.

ICECHIP@nsf_icechip · Jul 3

After 42 days and 15,000 + miles driven, #ICECHIP completed 24 IOPs across 11 states, including within 75 miles from both the Mexico and Canada borders. This totaled more than 10,000 hailstones collected by our teams while data was gathered on different types of hailstorms!

IBHS #research is on the cutting edge of discovering the next phase of #hail insights with our hail-driven wind sensor. This new instrumentation will enable us to develop a testing standard for siding and window materials - something that currently doesn’t exist. ✅

IBHS #researchers crush it! 💥 @AP reporters @borenbears @BrittanyKPeters & @CKaster share an inside look at @nsf_icechip and @IBHS_org research. Check it out! apnews.com/article/hail-s…

ibhshailstudy's tweet card. Dozens of researchers are chasing, driving and running into storms to collect fresh hail, getting their car bodies and their own bodies dented in the name of science.

RECAP: @nsf_icechip teams targeted a supercell in Oklahoma on Tuesday where they documented large hail. IOP 19 wraps up @IBHS_org's participation in the ICECHIP program, but other teams will continue operating through the upcoming weekend.

#DidYouKnow the @IBHS_Org team uses a handheld 3D laser scanner to create 3D-printed models of real #hailstones? These replicas help us: 💨 Study #hailstone aerodynamics 🧊 Produce cavity molds for ice impact testing 🛰️ Model radar scattering based on natural hail shapes

I’ll process the images better later but it’s entertaining watching 2.5-3” diameter stones bounce off @ibhshailstudy test shingles. And casual Wellfleet tor in the background.

IBHS #researchers are solving the latest building #science problems with new solutions and technology. The latest example, an omnidirectional impact disdrometer, is a wind-driven hail probe that captures #hail impacts from multiple directions. The innovative tool helps us better…
