Satellite Data Applications Workshop Report Available: The final report from the first Workshop on Satellite Data Applications and Information Extraction (WSDAIE) has been completed and is available on the workshop web page at http://stratus.ssec.wisc.edu/meetings/data_ws/ (click the report link). The workshop was held in August 2003 in Madison, Wisconsin, hosted at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS). It brought together satellite data providers, developers, and users. The WSDAIE participants came with a variety of expertise and experience, including staff from NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and National Weather Service (NWS) as well as CIMSS and other academic and government agencies. The workshop contributed to improved communication between data producers and data users. (G.S. Wade, E/RA2, 608-263-4743, J. Key, E/RA2, 608-263-2605)

Hurrican Isabel Post-Analysis Workshop: A
small workshop on Hurricane Isabel post-analysis was held at the NOAA
Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Hurricane
Research Division, on December 4-5, 2003. The purpose of the workshop
was to exchange ideas on the intensity behavior and structural
variations of Isabel as it crossed the Atlantic before making landfall
on Cape Hatteras in September. The meeting was attended by several
scientists, including Chris Velden and James Kossin from CIMSS, and Ray
Zehr from NESDIS/RAMMT, whom brough interesting satellite datasets to
the attention of the workshop participants. It is hoped a collaborative
effort will shed light on the Isabel intensity behavior with the help
of multispectral satellite signatures. (C. Velden, CIMSS,
