NSSL at AMS

amsNSSL researchers will be presenting their work at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society, which will be held next week in New Orleans, Louisiana.

There will be a number of scientific presentations, as well as posters on display. Many of these projects are collaborations with researchers from the University of Oklahoma’s Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies. NSSL representatives will also participate in several panel discussions.
