Here are links to PowerPoints and videos of many of the presentations, as well as photos from that conference. In two years, OU will host a similar conference. Please see PDF for links. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=325 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:52:04 CST http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=325 In recognition of his outstanding record of scholarly work, commitment to science education and distinguished service to the University of Oklahoma, the university is bestowing a Regents’ Professorship upon John Snow, dean of OU’s College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=324 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:51:27 CST http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=324 The University of Oklahoma will partner with Kyoto University to present the International Symposium on Radar and Modeling Studies of the Atmosphere Nov. 10 to 13 in Kyoto, Japan. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=323 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:58:34 CST http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=323 Courtesy of The Oklahoman: What’s the difference? In Oklahoma this is a loaded question when pertaining to weather conditions. A year ago, Oklahoma City Micronet made its official debut during a commissioning ceremony that took place at the National Weather Festival at the National Weather Center in Norman. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=322 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:12:38 CST http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=322 Courtesy of The Norman Transcript: During the last 40 years, Oklahoma has become the world's leading atmospheric observatory. Three notable events -- the late 2006 completion and occupancy of the OU-NOAA National Weather Center, the recent passing of former Governor and U.S. Senator Henry Bellmon and new funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) -- have prompted the following explanation of this accomplishment. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=321 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:21:57 CDT http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=321 Courtesy of The Oklahoman: El Nino is not just about presence; it’s about power. That’s what I took from a tutorial with Gary McManus of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey on a subject I’ve heard about but never really understood. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=320 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:21:40 CDT http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=320 Courtesy of The Oklahoman: Gary McManus isn’t your typical history buff. He can’t necessarily tell you about the world-changing events from a given day, but he will be able to let you know what the weather was like when it happened. As a climatologist, McManus studies long-term weather statistics for the Oklahoma Climatological Survey. http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=319 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:45:51 CDT http://weathersphere.org/article.php?AnnID=319 Courtesy of The Journal Record: Base Velocity's growing market for portable, updated weather data doesn't look to slow down any time soon.
