Virtual Open House for Science Exploration: NOAA's Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) is participating in the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Science Expeditions this weekend. UW has developed a unique ThingLink map that allows safe remote public exploration of science around campus. CIMSS joins the UW Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) sharing weather and climate resources and the history of weather satellites via site #2 on https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1426353628074999809.

SSEC and CIMSS Scientists in the News: Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) provide expert interviews, imagery and case studies to promote science. This week: 1) A study by CIMSS scientist Scott Bachmeier and Simon Proud, National Center for Earth Observation in Oxford, Britain, documenting a record for the coldest cloud-top temperature measured by a satellite was published in Geophysical Research Letters and picked up by The Washington Post (https://go.wisc.edu/od3u2a), WSLS-10 (https://go.wisc.edu/k8lmz4), the BBC (https://go.wisc.edu/is0bf2), and Phys.org (https://go.wisc.edu/8w7298). 2) CIMSS Satellite Blog contributors Scott Lindstrom and Scott Bachmeier published case studies on "Cyclone Seroja" (Apr. 5-8), "Heavy rainfall and flooding associated with Tropical Cyclone Seroja"" (Apr. 4), "Prescribed burns across the central US" (Apr. 2), "Metal recycling center fire in La Crosse, Wisconsin" (Apr. 2), "Early Spring over the Great Lakes" (Apr. 2), "Thunderstorms northeast of Guam" (Apr. 2), and "Persistent region of cool sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Eastern Pacific" (Apr. 1).
