NOAA-19
Heavy winter over the Netherlands, it's been weeks around zero; the dry air can get through anything. From above, NOAA19 beams through a wide mantle of clouds, they seem settled and a attached to the European continent- yet I've rarely see them swirling so fast, hiding then revealing our sun every hour.

NOAA-18
This weather sounding took place during Storm Éowyn. Even when undertaken within the ostensibly sheltered confines of York University campus, the roaring winds were more than sufficient to knock over and scatter the ground station equipment, even as the sounding was taken place! The double cross antenna fell to pieces and had to be repaired and held in position against the wind as NOAA-18 passed overhead - surprisingly, this did not appear to impact the recording. Undoubtedly, the chief source of local concern around the climate crises is in its potential to generate flooding from the nearby rivers Ouse and Fosse.
