SEMINAR: Update: Hurricane symposium @ May 19 11 AM

["Neal.Dorst" <Neal.M.Dorst@noaa.gov>]

I am sorry about the change up, but updates to Dr. Lubchenko's schedule meant that Rusty needs

to be at NWSFO on Thursday afternoon.  So we are moving the talks one day ahead and making this

a lunchtime symposium.  It's still at AOML and because they will be putting up a tent in our parking lot

that day, you may still have to finding parking across the street.

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 Wednesday, May 19th at 11 AM 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 the next 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 :

Rusty Pfost

NWSFO 
Miami,FL

"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.

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.
