Joint 2007 EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite &
15th AMS Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography Conference
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
24 – 28 September 2007
With the word ‘global’ taking on increasing significance in conversations about our planet’s weather, climate and environment, Europe and the U.S. joined together to
organize a conference to promote developments in the use of environmental
satellites in studies of the Earth. Following an initiative first proposed
almost six years ago by SSEC scientist Chris Velden, EUMETSAT and NOAA
joined with AMS to host the join conference in September 2007. The Royal
Netherlands Meteorological Institute graciously agreed to serve as the
local host and the stage was set in Amsterdam, The Netherlands—a
beautiful city sometimes called ‘the Venice of the North’.
SSEC/CIMSS had a significant presence at the conference with more than
35 attendees. Our researchers gave talks and posters in every session.
Several served as keynote speakers and session chairs. The influence of
the work we are doing here in this building was certainly felt at this
historic conference.
Perhaps the highlight of the conference was a special session devoted
to the contributions of our own Paul Menzel. His recent retirement from
NOAA and 40 years of service were honoured with a special plaque recognizing
his contributions to communities on both sides of the Atlantic. After a
presentation by Paul on the history of the GOES program, several close
colleagues and friends spoke briefly about his important role in the science
community and his dedicated mentoring efforts over the years. It was truly
a special afternoon for a special colleague.
