Training engineers watch at one station while Commercial Crew astronauts Eric Boe and Suni Williams practice docking operations for Boeing's CST-100 Starliner using a part-task trainer designed to mimic the controls and behavior of the spacecraft. They are part of a suite of cloud-based and hands-on trainers that Boeing has built to prepare astronauts and mission controllers. The trainers will be shipped to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston this year so astronauts can use them daily to practice numerous situations from normal operations to unlikely emergencies. The Starliner is one of two spacecraft in development in partnership with NASA's Commercial Crew Program that will enable astronauts to fly to the International Space Station on a new generation of spacecraft made in America and launching from Florida's Space Coast. Working at Boeing's St. Louis facility, Boe and Williams ran through numerous mission phases to assess the simulators before they are shipped to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston later this year.

These appear to be Asperitas Clouds, as described by the International Cloud Atlas:
"Well-defined, wave-like structures in the underside of the cloud; more chaotic and with less horizontal organization than the variety undulatus. Asperitas is characterized by localized waves in the cloud base, either smooth or dappled with smaller features, sometimes descending into sharp points, as if viewing a roughened sea surface from below. Varying levels of illumination and thickness of the cloud can lead to dramatic visual effects. Occurs mostly with Stratocumulus and Altocumulus."

That "rarest cloud type" is perhaps an exaggeration, but they were formally described as a separate type of cloud only in 2009.
These photos were taken 15 January 2016 in Durham NC (USA). Checking weather records, weather was mild, about 52 F with a light wind, with some showers that evening. Two days later, there was a big temperature drop down to low 20's (F), quite cold for this area.
In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2022 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the fourth round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving nearly 200 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2022 Digital Development Awards, including USAID/Nepal: Building Hope Along the Karnali River Basin (BHAKARI), implemented by MercyCorps Nepal.
The remote Karnali River Basin is home to some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded communities in Nepal, and, when a crisis hits, reaching families with life-saving humanitarian assistance can be extremely difficult. Organizations often provide cash and vouchers as assistance so that participants can satisfy their own specific needs. However, it can be complex and costly to meet with rural participants in person to enroll them in these types of programs.
The USAID/Nepal Building Hope Along the Karnali River Basin (BHAKARI) program, implemented by Mercy Corps Nepal, deploys a suite of digital solutions to address these and other challenges throughout the phases of an emergency. BHAKARI partnered with Viamo, a global social enterprise, to transmit free, trustworthy, and accurate messages to complement the cash and voucher assistance to over 3 million people in Nepal. BHAKARI has used Viamo’s Platform (hotlines, IVR calls and mobile trainings) to provide training on cash and voucher assistance and spread educational, informational, and interactive messages about nutrition, hygiene and health, disasters, gender equality and social inclusion, and how to maximize effectiveness of cash assistance to ensure food security and nutrition.
BHAKARI also uses cloud-based software Laligurans, developed by Aria Technologies Nepal, for cash and voucher project management. The software helps BHAKARI register cash and voucher assistance participants, distribute cash and vouchers, and connect local vendors to wholesalers.
Pushpa, a single mother in a small village in Nepal’s remote Karnali River Basin, is part of a Community Disaster Management Committee (CDMC), along with many other women in her community. As part of this committee, the women work together to help their community prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Additionally, as part of BHAKARI’s emergency response program, she and other vulnerable households from her community receive support in the form of cash and vouchers which can be redeemed for food and supplies.
She shares, “The program staff use their phones to make a list of what we need…rice, eggs, soap. They provide us vouchers after which we come to the shop and receive the items from our list, which is packed and ready for us when we arrive. The items are provided to us after the shop owners scan our voucher in their phones.” These vouchers help Pushpa, and others in her community, provide for their families during the dry season when food is more scarce.
The BHAKARI program has intentionally designed each intervention to make cash and voucher assistance more accessible to the most marginalized and underserved groups—including poor laborers and their families, women, and people with disabilities. Interactive voice response “push messaging,” which disseminated key program messages by calling participants’ mobile phones, allowed BHAKARI to reach even those with low digital literacy.
BHAKARI has been incredibly collaborative, partnering with a national technology service provider, 101 local vendors, two transfer service providers, 22 regional and local agriculture input suppliers, and multiple departments of the Nepal Government and district governments. Additionally, private sector actors and local vendors can be mobilized quickly to respond to communities in remote geographical regions in the case of shocks or disasters.

This is one from the archive; I chose to post it today because the reason I didn't shoot something new today is I am busy geeking out playing with Amazon EC2 (cloud based servers) and moving my blog and the rest of my domains over to it.
I am a geek, or at least I like to pretend to be one :). And, this stuff is a lot of fun for me. EC2 is about the coolest thing I have played with tech wise in some time :) See ya all tomorrow.
Needs to bee seen on black really...

Virtual Panorama of Reiter Berry Farms, in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015, are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve on the 30% water savings they already achieve with precision micro subsurface irrigation. The use of a Wireless Irrigation Monitoring Network (WIN) to collects data from wireless solar powered soil tensiometers, and weather field stations positioned throughout farms in three counties enable them to track soil, temperature, and humidity conditions with a cloud-based irrigation management system, to better manage watering and soil conservation efforts in more than 700 acres. They actively share their data, methods, and experiences with other producers. Better management by producers using a currently dwindling supply and quality of ground water (wells) in this county will help recharge the aquifer and prevent the migration of nearby Pacific Ocean salt water into the ground water they use. This is one of the ways growers are extending the water supply. Reiter Affiliated Companies (RAC) has been involved with family farming since 1868; is a leading fresh, multi-berry producer in the world; and a leading supplier of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries in North America.
Wireless soil tensiometer are buried at multiple specific distances and depths from the subsurface water emitters and the root balls. The tensiometer measures how strongly the soil absorbs water. The tensiometer’s porous probe is buried into the soil and a pump pulls some air out, creating a vacuum. Water and moisture from the surrounding soil enters the probe. Low amounts of water entering the tensiometer indicate plants (and evaporation) are pulling water from the soil and may need to be watered. High levels of water entering the tensiometer indicate the plants have enough water. This information is then transmitted to a company’s cloud-based irrigation management system that makes the data available on customer’s mobile device in the field. If this data is combined with historical data and other information, it can help determine when, how long and how fast watering needs to be for best efficiency, soil health and electrical economy to improve a business’s yield and profitability. These measurements helps ensure ideal watering and for soil conservation. The farms have been using the tensiometers for 5 years. USDA Photo Illustration by Lance Cheung.

Better management by producers using a currently dwindling supply and quality of ground water (wells) in this county will help recharge the aquifer and prevent the migration of nearby Pacific Ocean salt water into the ground water they use. This is one of the ways growers are extending the water supply.

This was one of my favorite storm images from last year. If you bought my book, you've seen it already, but I never posted it online. You can see up ahead a major downpour of rain and hail going on over the distant mountain. And if you look at the cloud base, you can see what appears to be a lowering or small wall cloud. I know for a fact this cell was severe warned and had rotation on it, so it very well could have been a wall cloud. You can see a timelapse I made of this storm, plus see a funnel cloud by clicking here.
I post it today in anticipation of my annual stormchasing trip to the Central Plains which will take place starting Saturday. I'm beyond excited to finally have it here and set in stone. I'm going with a couple of buddies and it would be epic fun. Matt Granz is a fantastic photographer and I can't wait to shoot with him again. And Andy Hoeland is a few steps below a meteorologist and nothing can be better than having one of those right in the car with you.
Hoping to come back with at least a handful of awesome storm pictures and perhaps a lot more than that. We're kind of throwing luck to the wind and praying it lands our way. There isn't a severe event showing up yet, but we definitely know storms are in the forecast.

With mega gloom, and misty cloud base about 500 meters crank up the ISO and away you go, Those recent Gatwick Express units are still quite new to me, so always worth a shot.
