Boulder
- About 100 volunteer weather observers -- the
people who measure temperature, gauge rainfall and snow
depth, and check for severe weather -- will receive special
recognition in Boulder on April 21.
This will also be a day of briefings and tours. Dr. Thomas
Schlatter, of NOAA’s Forecast
Systems Lab, will talk about Rocky Mountain Weather.
Dr. Erik Rasmussen, of NOAA’s National
Severe Storms Lab, will share his scientific experiences
as a tornado chaser. Visitors will also tour the Space
Environment Center. Helping to build the event are Cooperative
Program Managers at Colorado weather forecast offices in
Boulder/Denver, Grand Junction and Pueblo and Cheyenne,
Wyoming and Goodland, Kansas. NOAA is hosting along with
the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the Colorado
Climate Center at Colorado State University. http://coco-rahs.fsl.noaa.gov/weatherworkshop/

Space
Weather Week, at the Space
Environment Center in Boulder, will give a range of users
the chance to learn more about solar storms and how they can
affect people, electric power, satellites, communications,
and navigation. NOAA presenters will include Ernie Hildner,
Howard Singer, Vic Pizzo, and Rod Vireck. There will be a
close look at last year's July 14 "Bastille Day event" when
a solar storm hit a NASA satellite carrying NOAA equipment
and interrupted operations. Barbara Poppe, barbara.poppe@noaa.gov;
