Grandparents University Comes to AOSS

For the 6th consecutive summer, UW Alums and their grandchildren enrolled in the meteorology major at the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Science Building for Grandparents University. Patrick Rowley, Jean Phillips, Jordan Gerth, Erik Olson and Margaret Mooney led activities in the AOSS 14th floor computer lab, the CAVE (CIMSS Analysis and Visualization Environment), the 3D globe room and the roof.

Enthusiast feedback followed each session but the clear favorite was the exciting weather balloon launch facilitated by SSEC researcher Erik Olson. On Wisconsin!
