Cyclone Gaflio, South Indian Ocean, March 2004.
Well, my first hurricane-related presentation, at the Exploratorium here in San Francisco, can now be watched here...Here for Real Player, here for Windows Media Player....I think it came off pretty well. Lotsa slides, hurricane pictures, and even a movie....enjoy. I think it's a good start for my speaking on this subject.
Meanwhile, literature on Storm World is being distributed at the American Geophysical Union meeting at the Elsevier exhibit table, booths 720-724. Check it out....more info here.

New rules require screening of all facts and interpretations by agency scientists who study everything from caribou mating to global warming. The rules apply to all scientific papers and other public documents, even minor reports or prepared talks, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.'
