You're invited to a celebration for young folks and adults on Sunday, October 17, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., as the Mesa Lab becomes NCAR Cloudscapes Station for a day. Meet Carlye and Richard Keen, a climatologist at CU-Boulder who contributed cloud descriptions as well as three photos to the series. NCAR meteorologist and GLOBE chief scientist Peggy LeMone will give an illustrated talk based on her booklet “The Stories Clouds Tell." Also featuring: * Nick Carter, 9News meteorologist, Master of Ceremonies * Cloudscapes stamp unveiling ceremony with the Boulder Postmaster * Commemorative cancellations at NCAR Cloudscapes Postal Station (stamps available for purchase) Sunday, October 17 1:00–4:00 p.m. NCAR Mesa Lab (Mezzanine and Main Seminar Room) See the full schedule and what the stamps look like at the Cloudscapes Web site below. ----Where can I get the stamps if I can't come on Sunday?---- UCAR was allotted 3,000 Cloudscapes sheets, but they are flying out the door, according to Site Services. The stamps will be available for purchase at the front desks on a first come, first served basis until they're gone. See the Web page at http://www.ucar.edu/news/stamp.shtml. |
