Second Week of UCRP Launches

There were a few iMet-4 radiosonde launches for the University Coordinated Radiosonde Project (UCRP) here at HUBC. Rocio Rossi (above and below pictures) coordinated these launches with Adrian Flores. Something special from these launches was the snow in the background (HUBC received around 5 inches of snow) and the rain during the night launch. More launches will come and snow is again forecast for the coming week. Exciting weather event to catch during this campaign. Check for the next post!
