D. Hillger participated in a WMO Workshop in Boulder CO on 5 and 6 June 2007. Emphasis of the workshop was on RGB (Red-Green-Blue) image compositing in order to generate products from multi-spectral imagery. Much of the emphasis from Europe was on Meteosat Second Generation RGB products, but as the NOAA representative, Hillger gave a presentation on RBG compositing for both current GOES and simulated future GOES-R ABI. The main objective of the workshop was to develop draft standards for RGB composite imagery that would be more formally adopted at a later date. A document is being prepared, with both generalized and specific examples of RGB compositing. (D. Hillger)
J. Dostalek finished an informal FORTRAN 90/95 class offered by two research groups in the Department of Atmospheric Science at CSU. (J. Dostalek)
D. Lindsey was invited to be a co-author on a paper entitled "The stratospheric impact of the Chisholm PyroCumulonimbus eruption: nadir satellite perspective," by M. Fromm (NRL) and others. (D. Lindsey)
