26th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology

#1 Postby wxman57 » Wed Apr 28, 2004 6:52 pm

Ok, only 5 days to the 26th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology in Miami Beach, FL (link below). Who's planning on attending? I know Derek is presenting a paper there on Tuesday at 11:15am, I think. Too bad I won't be able to catch his talk as there are 4 concurrent talks going on and I'll be at the Tropical Cyclone Prediction and Predictability II: Track and Intensity discussion. My co-worker will be there, however.

Derek's talk:
11:15 AM6D.5Atmospheric water vapor and tropical cyclone intensity changes
Derek Ortt, Univ. of Miami/RSMAS; and S. S. Chen

I'll be arriving at the Radisson Deauville around noon Sunday. See y'all there.

This conference is every 2 years, so you'll have to wait until 2006. Registration is $330-$400, I believe.

This is a research confrence, not where operational decisions are made. Thus, I doubt that any announcements regarding the retirement of names will be made
