Subject: SEMINAR: Hurricane symposium @ May 20 2 PM
Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 13:32:30 -0400
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Hurricane Donna and the 75th anniversary of the Labor Day hurricane.
To commemorate these landmark storms the Greater Miami chapter of the AMS invites you to attend a symposium
to be held Thursday, May 20th at 2 PM in the first floor conference room of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological
Laboratory on Virginia Key.  Refreshments will be served prior to the talks.
We will be having the NOAA hurricane season forecast roll out here at AOML at noon of that day, so there will be
a large tent in our parking lot.  You may have to park across the road either at the NOAA SE Fisheries Lab or in front
of the Univ. of Miami's Rosenstiel School in beach parking.  For further information see 2010 Anniversary Symposium 
So far we have two talks scheduled :

"50th Anniversary of Hurricane Donna"

The development of, path of, preparation for, impact by and reaction to Hurricane Donna, a category 4 Cape Verde hurricane that moved through the Caribbean, Florida, and the eastern seaboard of the United States, will be reviewed and remembered.


Neal Dorst
Meteorologist 
AOML/Hurricane Research Division 
Miami,FL "Storm Patrol and the Lost Hurricane"

A historical curio is examined, the timeline of efforts to institute marine and arial storm patrols in the 1930s and how they were effected by the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 and its political outfall.

I hope you all can come and join us.
