J. Weaver attended the COMET Budget/Priority Subcommittee Meeting as the NESDIS representative. The meeting was held in Boulder CO. COMET project leaders presented brief summaries of FY 2002 accomplishments. Budgetary matters and development tasking priorities were discussed. Several presentations came from material on the COMET Meteorological Education page found at: http://meted.ucar.edu/modules.htm). Two presentations of particular interest were "Cold Air Damming" and "Forecasting Radiation Fog" under the Mesoscale Meteorology header. One unusual presentation involved a K-12 computer game designed to teach kids about hurricanes. The module was partially funded by FEMA, and M. DeMaria provided some help with subject matter. The module is called "Hurricane Strike." and can be found at: http://deved.meted.ucar.edu/hurrican/strike/index.htm. 

M. DeMaria gave a 45-minute presentation entitled "Coastal and Inland Effects of Tropical Cyclones" and a related 30-minute laboratory exercise at the COMET COMAP class in Boulder, Colorado. About 25 students from the National Weather Service were in attendance.
