At the 94th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society, about 3,000 scientists, technologists, academics, and vendors from around the world are gathering in Atlanta, Georgia, from February 2-6, to the theme “Extreme Weather – Climate and the Built Environment: New Perspectives, Opportunities, and Tools.” During the meeting, dozens of researchers are sharing results and technological advances that make use of data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility—the world’s most comprehensive outdoor laboratory and data archive.
From field campaign results to modeling studies and advances in remote-sensing instrumentation, see the complete presentation page for ARM-related topics at this year’s meeting, including the Python coding session noted below, led by Argonne National Laboratory scientists.
Tools and Techniques for Developing Atmospheric Python Software: Insight from the Python ARM Radar Toolkit – Monday, February 3, 11:00 AM-11:45 AM, Room C302, 1.1
- Jonathan Helmus leads a “sprint” session on collaborative coding and Scott Collis leads a workshop/roundtable session on “Building the AOS Python Community.”
Researcher Accomplishments Recognized
Several scientific colleagues are receiving well-deserved recognition at this year’s meeting. Our congrats to:
David Randall, Professor, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo.—for transformative research into atmospheric convection and cloud processes and their improved representation in global weather and climate models, he is receiving the Jule G. Charney Award.
Courtney Schumacher, Professor, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Tex.—for innovative use of observations to clarify the vertical structure of latent heating and the geographical distribution of convective and stratiform precipitation, she is receiving the Clarence Leroy Meisinger Award.
Gerald Geernaert, Director, DOE BER Climate and Environmental Sciences Division, Washington D.C.—AMS Fellow.
