ESSIC scientists presented over 20 talks and posters at the 94th Annual American Meteorological Society Meeting held February 2-6 in Atlanta, GA. The theme for this year’s meeting was “Extreme Weather—Climate and the Built Environment: New Perspectives Opportunities, and Tools.” Broad topics discussed included how extreme weather such as tornado, cyclones, floods, winter storms, wildfires, drought, and extreme solar activity influence technological innovation, scientific inquiry, society, and public awareness. The theme also aligned with NOAA and NWS goals of having “A Weather-Ready Nation – a society that is prepared for and responds to weather related events.”
