Brian Peters and I attended the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society in Atlanta yesterday. I was giving two presentations, and out of the whole week they scheduled mine within one hour of each other! In the haste to move from one conference room to another, we used the stairs, not noticing the “Fire Exit – No Return Access” sign. So, after climbing around and running some like Paul Newman in “The Towering Inferno”, we got back in.

We talked to some interesting people…including the editor of the Bulletin of the AMS, NHC Director Bill Read, NWA director Steve Harned, Bob Baron of Baron Services, and Fred Carr, chair of OU School of Meteorology. A fun trip.

I don’t normally do this when I go to conferences, but above are links to the powerpoints from my two presentations. The first one, on warning dissemination, is a lot of fun, but also presents some interesting ideas for later. The second one could help make improvements to radar-estimated rainfall. Thanks to Jim Westland of NWS, my co-author on that one.
