Got through about 400 U & A posters then blitzed the P & SA with a little bit of geology for the heck of it.
Noted
don’t put your picture on your poster. I understand why you would, but I look at it and see a car or real estate ad and expect 25% off at least for reading your posters
don’t use the same logo on your poster as you’re football team does on the helmet. Use the staid one on the letterhead your University uses for deaths and termination notices. I can’t explain why just trust me on this.
OK, gtg, late for the Social Media Soiree and I have no idea what the heck it is? I thought Soiree was ice cream made with water instead of cream?
Posters Ramblings
a couple posters dealing with teleconnections. I find this fascinating, the notion/fact that the atmosphere responses in a non-local manner to different effects. Ferreting them out is useful and I imagine fun, understanding them is tough. Posters 109 and 269 had some interesting results.
not giving number but poor ### printed their poster 4'x6' but it the boards are 4' HEIGHT by 6' width
Poster 128 makes available to us all the HIPPO data base of recent aircraft measurements and analysis for flight paths all over North America (maybe more?). Looks worth checking out.
Trending: several people have put instruments on cargo ships to get a wide range of latitudes/longitudes covered. No pirates appeared to be co-investigators.
143: Yo @znarfoz: Bruhl et al showed results for background stratospheric aerosols. They estimate carbonyl sulfide (COS) is the source for 70%, with some volcanic contributions by SO2.
212: Pfister et al. showed aircraft measurements from the AATREX campaign of water vapor in the tropical troposphere layer. Changes in water vapor in this region have a huge affect on global temperature. Look forward to seeing more of these excellent measurements.
221: Loved this (Canadian!) student paper by Haga et al on ice nucleation in mixed phase clouds due to fungal spores. Wished I had been able to talk to her. I overheard her saying they were wondering if the spores could be lofted in the high arctic. At the CANDAC lab in Eureka we have an experiment that measures pollen brought up from middle latitudes to the high arctic. So why not fungal spores?
263: another interesting Canadian student paper by Normand et al using OSIRIS satellite measurements to find cloud tops in the UTLS.
379: Enviroment Canada sciences show that NO2 and SO2 hot spots are present over the minds at the tar sands. Nuff said.
quick tour of the planetary papers, the Mars ionospheric work is neat and I enjoyed Girzain et al poster SA13A-1879 that derived a Chapman profile for the Mars ionosphere. Definitely stealing that for my course next term, nice complement to the derivation I do for Earth. Or an exam problem maybe, ssshhhhh thank Goodness my students don’t read this.
promised Geology: 1577 Lebrun et al showed the affects on cooling on a magma ocean on Earth on the choice of atmosphere. As the amount of water vapor increases relative to CO2 the cooling can slow down by 2x.
