The Department of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences successfully hosted the first ever 2007 ATOC Graduate Student Poster Conference. This conference is an opportunity for graduate students, faculty, and scientists working in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences to learn about and share exciting graduate research. Undergraduates were also encouraged to participate. There were total of 65 posters (64 listed in the program plus 1 walked in) in 5 sessions: Atmospheric Chemistry (11), Atmospheric Dynamics (21), Clouds and Aerosols (8), Oceanography (8) and Remote Sensing/Radiative Transfer (16 plus one walked in). There are significant number of cross-department faculty and scientists from NCAR, NOAA, and CORA participated and evaluated the posters. The conference was held on Friday, Oct. 26, 2007 at the Stadium Club. Light food and drink were served during the poster session.
