The National Weather Festival will be on Saturday, October 29th from 10am to 2pm. We will be selling t-shirts and stickers. The Weather Friends will also be there!
Emily Lenhardt, from SAC, gave an announcement about Multicultural Fest in January. It will be the first one since January 2020. SAC is looking for multicultural groups on campus and they should email her or Bryony if they are interested in participating in the Multicultural Fest.
Dr. Sakaeda was our October speaker. Her research focuses on Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) , diurnal cycle of rainfall and clouds, tropical-extratropical interactions, etc. Diagrams about the MJO were shown and discussed by the speaker and SCAN members. She more specifically focuses on the issues with modeling the tropics. She talked about her career path. Her job duties include teaching, researching and service. She also talked about the different sectors of meteorology and options available for students after graduating from OU.
