  • Thirteen students, three faculty, and MU President McNairy attended the 87th Annual AMS meeting in San Antonia, TX. Ironically, a crippling ice storm affected much of Texas during the meeting, which ran from January 14 - 18, 2007. We invite all MU grads to join us at next year's 88th meeting of the AMS to be held New Orleans, LA from January 20 - 24, 2008.

  • In September 2006, half of our weather map wall was converted to an electronic map wall. So, in addition to paper upper-air maps and model output, we now have three 32-inch flat screen monitors for displaying NOWRAD, Satellite imagery, and model guidance. Click here to view the "E-Wall".

  • MU meteorologists are becoming increasingly visible on the air waves across the country. The class of 2006 leads the way with three grads now on air. They are: Joey Sovine (WVVA, Bluefield WV), Kira Kanitra (WMDT, Salisbury MD), and Jodie Frazee (NECN, Boston MA), pictured right. More than a dozen other grads are working as on-air METS including Cassie Behofist (WHIZ, Zanesville OH), Christine Ferreira (KOIN, Portland OR), Justin Draback (WMDT, Salisbury MD), Wayne MacKenzie (WAAY Huntsville AL), Bob Van Dillon (CNN Headline News, Atlanta GA), Paul Lynch (WHP, Harrisburg PA), Les Still (WYOU, Scranton PA), Brad Miller (WCSC, Charleston SC), Matt Ritter (WGAL, Lancaster PA), Fritz Nivose (CNN International, Atlanta GA), and Mick O'Hearn (WHTM, Harrisburg PA).
