Description:While numerous collaborations exist between the atmospheric sciences research community and the US National Weather Service (NWS), collaborative research field studies between undergraduate (UG) students at universities and the NWS are less common. The SCORCHER (Summertime Canyon Observations and Research to Characterize Heat Extreme Regimes) study was an UG student-driven research field campaign conducted in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas, USA, during the Summer of 2021. The SCORCHER campaign was mainly aimed at improving our basic scientific understanding of extreme heat, public safety and forecasting applications, and creating an empowering UG educational field research experience. This “in-box” article highlights the collaborative study design, execution, and lessons learned.
