GMAO Takes AMS by Storm in Phoenix, Arizona
02.07.2019
Representatives from NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) converged on the Valley of the Sun, otherwise known as Phoenix, Arizona, for the 99th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) in early January 2019. The desert climate provided a nice backdrop to a busy week of speaker panels, poster sessions and Hyperwall presentations.
Topics covered ranged from the study of catastrophic hurricanes Juan and Harvey, to the deadly Dehli air pollution event in 2017. Despite the ongoing government shutdown, the sessions were well-attended. In the exhibit hall, GMAO contractor staff gave popular Hyperwall presentations throughout the week at the Earth Science booth.
Below is the list of oral and poster presentations from AMS 2019. You can see PDF versions of the posters at https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/pubs/index.php?sel=posters&yr=2019
