After a decade of chasing, I can finally say I know what Wheat Jesus is. 😅
Last week was my first deployment with the UAH FARM facility’s Boundary-layer Evolution and Structure of Tornadoes (BEST) project supported by NSF. While on the road, I will continue supporting @girlswhochase.com projects and field reporting with GWC founder Jen Walton.
