Storm Intercepts

Storm Intercept Pocola Oklahoma March 14, 2024, by National Climate Change Warning Center climate scientist Wayne Adams. 


This 2nd intercept and collection of rainwater from a severe t-storm cycle was a success. Also, we were able to get pictures of what we believe is the biogenic aerosol release process ahead of the storms. Measurement of rainwater showed a pH of 6.60. A temperature drop of 2 Fahrenheit degrees was noted near the location. Rainfall had 18 parts per million TDS meter. The elements below are included in this sample of rainwater in low amounts. The salinity sample showed 33.

April 9, 2024, collection of rainwater from Spiro Oklahoma general thunderstorm 15 miles west of Fort Smith Arkansas results.

Rainwater collected at 7:30 A.M. April 9, 2024, from overnight thunderstorms had 6.84 pH, TDS 184, and salinity at 0184. 

April 10, 2024, 3:10 P.M.  collection of rainwater from Spiro Oklahoma general heavy rain 15 miles west of Fort Smith Arkansas results. Salt = 0.00, pH = 6.83 to 6.85, and TDS = 0083 - 0112  .



April 15, 2024, 8:50 P.M.  collection of rainwater from Fort Smith and 9:10 P.M. Greenwood Arkansas general light rain 15 miles west of Fort Smith Arkansas results. Salt = 0.01, pH = 6.82 and TDS = 0282. 

Very low amounts of each element within the rainwater.
