This $815,349 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the "In-Situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail in the Plains" (ICECHIP) field campaign. The goal of this 4-year project is to improve radar detection and monitoring of hail, provide critical ground-truth data for materials science, and enhance the nation's ability to predict hailstorms and their impacts. The research will use a variety of modern instrumentation, including mobile radars, unmanned aerial systems, and high-resolution cameras, to conduct synchronized observations of hailstorms, hailstones, and associated damage across the Front Range and Central Plains regions. This comprehensive dataset will be used to validate hail growth models, improve radar-based hail detection, and develop better hail forecasting capabilities. The award will also support the training of 32 undergraduate and 20 graduate students across 10 U.S. universities, including two minority-serving institutions.
