10th Annual High Plains Conference

I won't exactly be flooding this blog with chase related posts anytime soon, but I thought I'd plug the following information on behalf of the High Plains AMS/NWA Chapter (of which I'm a member and webmaster for):

-------------------------------
October 4-6, 2006
10th Annual High Plains Conference
Dodge City, Kansas

The conference theme, High Plains Severe Storms, will focus on events ranging from severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, to drought, dust storms, flash flooding, and winter weather. Topics from both the research and the operational communities are welcome. Each session in the conference will be opened with an invited speaker, with remaining speakers each receiving 20 minutes for their presentations and any questions. This conference is intended to be less formal than national conferences, so those who are presenting for the first time and those whose work that has not yet gone through the academic peer review process are welcome to participate.

Additional information is found at http://www.highplains-amsnwa.org/10HPC/

Keynote speakers for this year's conference include...
Dr. Paul M. Markowski, Assistant Professor of Meteorology, The Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. David M. Schultz, Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS), National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), The University of Oklahoma.
Dr. Erik Rasmussen, Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS), National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), The University of Oklahoma.

Call for Papers:
The deadline for submission of titles and one page abstracts is September 8, 2006.

If not for the distance and my financial status lately, Guyer... I'd try to make that. It certainly sounds interesting and I'd love to hear what Rasmussen has been working on over the past few years. I'd still like to learn more about his DRC (descending reflectivity core) theory, but just haven't taken the time to search the 'net for it. If you have any links to that, by the way, I'd love to take a gander sometime. Hope all is well, down there, and that you're staying cool. It's been difficult up here, but we're sure trying. We desperately need some rain up here... damnit! ;)
