VISITORS:
Atmospheric Turbulence Experts Visit CIMSS:
A group of atmospheric turbulence experts visited the Cooperative
Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)/Space Science
and Engineering Center (SSEC) on July 22-23, 2004. Dr. Robert
Sharman, Dr. Todd Lane, Dr. Rod Frehlich, and Mr. Dave Johnson of the
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) collaborated with the
CIMSS/SSEC Advanced Satellite Aviation-weather Program (ASAP) team to
discuss turbulence as an aviation hazard. Among topics discussed
were how satellite information can facilitate in turbulence detection,
the availability of high resolution numerical weather prediction output
containing turbulence from NCAR for simulation of future infrared
hyperspectral data, and to exchange information about current research
being conducted in both groups. Dr. Todd Lane presented a
CIMSS/SSEC seminar titled "An introduction to some aviation turbulence
research at NCAR".

NEXT WEEK:
Upcoming CIMSS 5-year Review: The
Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) will
be hosting the NOAA 5-year review of the Cooperative Agreement August
10-12, 2004. Frances Holt, Al Powell, Marie Colton, Colleen Hartman,
Stan Wilson, Mike Nelson, Marilyn Moll, Paul Menzel, and Jeff Key of
NOAA are expected to attend. (S. Ackerman, CIMSS,
