The 92 Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society will take place 22-26 January 2012 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The submission deadline for many abstracts is 8 August, 2011. See the Call for Papers for details.

The theme of the 2012 AMS Annual Meeting is "Technology in Research and Operations." This theme will address the profound impact technology has had and will have on research, operations, the business of our environmental sciences, and the public. Technology advancements have greatly lowered the human suffering and loss of life in the United States and around the world from the deadly and costly effects of extreme weather and ecological disasters.

Unidata community members may be especially interested in participating in the 28th Conference on Interactive Information Processing Systems (IIPS), held during the annual meeting. See the IIPS conference page for details.

Unidata's Jeff Weber speaks with Denver TV meteorologist Marty Coniglio.

Unidata's Jeff Weber is comfortable making scientific ideas easy for nonscientists to understand — he's one of the NCAR Science Wizards who make learning about the world fun for kids (and adults) during NCAR's annual Super Science Saturday events in Boulder, Colorado. Weber got another chance to explain an interesting phenomenon — the almost-daily lightning displays Coloradans have been seeing this July — to an even bigger audience when a local television meteorologist came to chat.
