Welcome back to all returning students! I would like to inform everyone that the Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society is ramping up to start another great Fall Semester. Our first meeting for Fall 2009 will be this Tuesday, Sept. 1st, 2009 at 9pm in the IET 116 Auditorium. If you are new to this site or this major, or just like weather in general but aren't a member of SCAMS we enourage you to come! There will be FREE PIZZA! That's right! So come join us as we discuss plans for a fun and exciting semester.
Another brief thing I'd like to mention is that once again Dr. Peyrifitte will be leading Current Weather Discussion starting next Tuesday, Sept. 1st, 2009 at 5pm in the MET Lab (IET 134). Come join us to discuss the weather of the past week, the current weather and what we might expect to see in the near future. Dr. Peyrifitte is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I encourage everyone to come and participate in the discussion. Hope to see you there!
Lastly, I'd like to point out to any and all freshmen whom are taking MET 240 that if you are feeling a little overwhelmed or just need a little help, there's hope! MET 240 Tutoring takes place in the MET Lab (IET 134) 4 days a week (Monday - Thursday) from 4pm - 9pm. For those that don't know, IET 134 (the Meteorology Lab) is located "inside" IET 136 (You'll see the signs in IET pointing you to the Meteorology Lab).
That's all for now. I hope everyone is having a great first week and hope to see you all next Tuesday! |

From 22,336 miles in space, NOAA’s newest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite – GOES-14 – took its first full-disc visible image on July 27 at 2 p.m. EDT. GOES-14 joins three other operational NOAA GOES spacecraft that help the agency’s forecasters track life-threatening weather and solar activity that can impact the satellite-based electronics and communications industry. http://www.noaa.gov/features/monitoring/goes-14/index.html (This link includes pictures, one of which is a high-res download, and a video)

This may sound like an advertisement so forgive me, but our studious former President Morris Langworthy III brought this gem to my attention and I wanted to pass it along to all of you. "I found this new national weather service program that I thought you could put up on the website and/or possible talk about at scams.
You can now get text messages from the national weather service on severe weather and free radar on your phone." |

(AP) MIAMI - The Atlantic hurricane season will be less active than originally predicted, government forecasters said Thursday after the first two months of the half-year stretch passed without any named storms developing. Updating its May outlook, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said a warmer weather pattern called an El Nino over the Pacific Ocean was acting as a damper to tropical storms in the Caribbean and neighboring Atlantic. But forecasters at NOAA's National Hurricane Center warned people to remain vigilant because the peak period for hurricanes runs from this month through October. The overall season lasts from June through November. |

In a Warming World, Cloudy Days Are a Boon |

Add CO2 to the atmosphere and the climate will get warmer — that much is well established. But climate change and carbon aren't in a one-to-one relationship. If they were, climate modeling would be a cinch. How much the globe will warm if we put a certain amount of CO2 into the air depends on the sensitivity of the climate. How vulnerable is the polar sea ice; how rapidly might the Amazon dry up; how fast could the Greenland ice cap disintegrate? That's why models like those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change spit out a range of predictions for future warming, rather than a single neat number. |
