National Weather Center Convection/NWP Seminar Series

Fall 2010

Organizers: Dr. Jerry Straka, Dr. Louis Wicker, Dr. Ming Xue, Robin Tanamachi

This seminar is held Fridays at 2:00 p.m. in NWC 5600 during the regular OU spring and fall semesters. You can subscribe to the listserv for this seminar series here.

Dates in green are still available; dates in yellow have been reserved, and dates in red are unavailable. To schedule a seminar, send your talk title to "rtanamachi at ou dot edu" at least one week before the desired seminar date (so that you can get on the departmental schedule). Seminar dates towards the end of the semester tend to fill up quickly, so reserve early! Unless you are a graduate student doing your required departmental seminar, your seminar need not fill the entire hour, nor be carefully polished. We encourage presentations (short or long) on works in progress!
