It's continued to be extremely busy for VORTEX2 the past couple of weeks. Yesterday was an extremely challenging day for our team. We were operating in Nebraska along I-80, battling sustained surface winds of at least 40 mph, and gusting above 50! As you can imagine, launching a weather balloon in such conditions was quite difficult. We ended up launching in teams and coming up with some creative ways to get the launch done successfully. Below is a video of NCSU student Adam French and two NCAR techs Heather and Bryan working together to get a launch off.
