"I want to warn you all (speaking of 3d modeling) that I have been for years (as Steve G. will testify) trying to get somebody to do 3D visualizations of the interaction of air masses, particularly in the region around and just east of the Sangres, where cold dry Canadian air masses slosh down the front range to be overlapped by warm moist air masses from the Gulf and hot dry air masses from the desert SW. It is here that the atmospheric layers are often generated that are the conditions for severe weather further east. The need is great for this visualization because many people who ought to know better are confused about this layering. I think I might even know of some people at NOAA who would help. Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer in return but my love and the promise of the enduring gratitude of TV weather people all over the Midwest who don't seem to understand the concept of a conditionally unstable atmosphere.

NOAA folks might have access to supercomputers, and appropriate codes, but if not there's.. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/viewSubmitAProposal.do Special consideration will be given to proposals addressing climate change, such as: Climate and meteorology: climate modeling, severe weather warning Climate change adaptation: sea level modeling, improving crop or livestock yields and resilience, watershed modeling Climate change mitigation: renewable energy modeling, renewable energy materials research Also there are experts in the area.. http://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/presentations ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
