Travel and Presentations

D. Hillger attended several of the Professional Development Institute (PDI) classes being offered the first week of January at CSU. Many of the classes were centered on computer technology and security, but a wide variety of other topics were covered as well. He was also a presenter for one of the classes, entitled “Metric Transition in the U.S. : Where We Are, and Where We Are Headed,” a repeat of a well-received presentation that he made at the same event two years ago. The classes are an opportunity for CSU faculty and staff to share their expertise, at a time when student activity is at a minimum. (D. Hillger)

D. Lindsey traveled to Washington D.C. in January 2006 to take part in the ICAPOP meeting. While there, he presented a StAR seminar on the 3.9 µm reflectivity work described in the Monthly Weather Review paper. (D. Lindsey)
