Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Running a grad student code sprint tonight with a spaghetti meal. We have this sauce for fans of the history of weather radar color maps. @pyart.bsky.social 170
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Second game in a row where the lock screen score is opposite the in-app score. You’ve got a bug, @espn.com! 010

Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 06/06/2025A yin-yang of lightning channel density from the tornadic supercell storm over Lubbock, and lightning in two overshooting tops showing the updraft of the main supercell and one that merged from the rear as the HP transition happened. 091
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Firing up the ‘ol’ Linux cluster for a code sprint tonight. #opensauce 120
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 03/03/2023I like watching the real-time StickNet page for @PERiLS_Project since end of ops features works of art like “lonely probe,” “solitary station,” and “forever 10 km to my friends” @jmeso212 @ASchueth @kelcybrunner @metpy 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 28/02/2023Someone has decorated my doorframe at work and I am very pleased. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/… 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 14/02/2023Good to have some lightning back in the @wtlma! 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 01/12/2022Installing some Linux packages for tonight’s code sprint. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 22/11/2022I always enjoy this lecture where we get to talk about a certain paper from 1752! 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 13/11/2022Turns out the pre-security OKC airport mezzanine observation deck is chock full of weather station plot symbols! #metar 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 05/11/2022Thanks to @osscams for a really well run GLASS conference and the opportunity to talk about the @nsf @nsf_lee project on the beautiful @sunyoswego campus! Here’s @SteigerScott introducing the project to a full, inquisitive room! 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 14/10/2022Here's a fun lightning flash: after an initial intracloud (upward negative channel), a second negative channel initiates near the first origin, heads off to the side, and then turns around and comes to ground on the other side of the original discharge. (cc: @ztresearch) 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 08/09/2022I get to mention integration by parts today, which is all the excuse I need to post… #uvvdu. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 23/08/2022@SchmidtsRevenge I don’t know if #chipblog is still your scene, but these are an ABOMINATION. #glutenfree 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 20/08/2022The @wtlma detected the tracks of two commercial flights, and A321 and B737 flying about 5kft apart. The detections are from corona discharge from the static wicks on the wings/fuselage, resulting from flying through thick ice clouds that charge the aircraft. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 25/07/2022Metadata, the hard way. (Or: the cost of being a multi-instrument scientist in the pre-QC early data period.) 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 15/07/2022In West Texas we buy our stringed instruments at the luthier ranch. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 06/07/2022Nice aircraft track in the @wtlma data tonight 010
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 27/05/2022We found some really pleasant sites for our lightning sensors during the #ARMTRACER campaign, and are grateful for the generosity of the many residents of Winnie and Angleton who were so helpful as we surveyed the area! 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 22/05/2022We're redeploying a couple @wtlma stations for the #ARMTRACER project for the next couple months, adding on to the Houston LMA operated by @loganen3. Today's noise tests at possible sites went well after yesterday's instrument checkout at our temporary suburban lab. 100
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 01/05/2022Here's the space-time structure for an updraft surge in the left-moving supercell between Seagraves and Plains. Uppermost cluster is in the overshooting top. 010
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 01/05/2022Full-quality streaming @wtlma processing detects a lot of points. (Graph is count by altitude for last ~4 min). 100
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 29/03/2022The smoke plume from a fire between Tatum and Plains on the NM border shows up nicely as a Zdr and rhv minimum. Long transport in our hearty winds today. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 08/02/2022A little night architecture (featuring a School of Architecture) 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 03/01/2022The best Christmas gifts are also a calibration lab. Looks like it’s a about a 12 oz scale that starts 1.5 oz above the bottom of the glass. Thanks @leemangeophys! 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 09/09/2021Radar polarimetry people: is this layer of 0 to -3dB Zdr from 3-9kft smoke, chaff, or Bragg? Negative values seem too small for Bragg, coverage too big for chaff. Maybe in about the right spot for yesterdays’s residual boundary layer? 100
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 14/08/2021Five large birds soaring along the outflow and a couple dozen of dragonflies swarming about. 100
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 13/06/2021I sent my kid this paper title “On how high-latitude chorus waves tip the balance between acceleration and loss of relativistic electrons,” and got back an illustration with comment: “Chorus waves tip the balance of the universe.” 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 10/06/2021Enjoyed some in-situ sampling of a sharp, westward retreating dryline tonight. Thanks to my colleague who lives 2.5 mi E for the tip to step outside! Please choose your preferred k: mathworld.wolfram.com/C-kFunction.h… 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 17/05/2021Short chase to the end of the neighborhood and caught this nice time lapse of the Amherst LP supercell, with a lucky lightning strike! @NWSLubbock 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 15/02/2021Dripped the faucet as needed for the last 24 hrs of cold, and the spray pattern from the already bad valve stem made an art! 100
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 10/02/2021@pmarshwx @JaretWx can you help me understand the position of the median moving average line on this plot? The help says it's a 3 mo average, but still seems biased low in e.g., Nov Dec Jan. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 28/10/2020@SarahFromTTUPM top line numbers haven't updated, but the dashboard's bar/line chart with tests cases shows well over 600 new cases today and 1129 tests. Presumably this is why the city is doing a press conference? 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 11/08/2020This is one of the cleaner examples I’ve seen where Zdr distinguishes a hail core from other relatively high reflectivity regions. Some interesting propagation artifacts and three body scatter in two different lobes off the west end, too. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 05/08/202013 cookies in this Oreo stack, and I now have no idea how many to eat, since I can’t systematically subdivide for 1 or more future meals. #primeproblems 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 24/07/2020@cityoflubbock it looks like the month labeling on the COVID dashboard is displaying a label for Jun 1 at the center of the month. I totally get how that could happen, but it does make the chart misleading. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 10/07/2020A pleasant surprise on a 105 degree day. So many CGs from high cloud bases, too. 000
Eric Bruning @deeplycloudy.bsky.social · 28/06/2020Found the original code and brought back the fractal I invented (how does one even know?) junior year of high school. 100
