Sarah Ruth left Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics in January to move to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. She continues to work on the analysis and interpretation of satellite data.
Goodbye and Hello to Bryan Lawrence, who recently left his NERC-supported PDRA post to move to an Atlas Fellowship at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. He still regularly appears in his office in AOPP, however...
Work continues to focus primarily on the use of UGAMP and other models for the interpretation of ISAMS data. Three papers in this area (lead authors: Suzanne Rosier, Sarah Ruth and Rowan Sutton) have been submitted to the UARS Special Issue of J. Atmos. Sci. Marzieh Fatemian has been comparing the evolution of several EUGCM runs with the observed 1991-92 northern winter. Helen Rogers has been using a contour-advection model for studies of the ISAMS measurements of Pinatubo aerosol.
Warwick Norton and Suzanne Rosier are attending the AMS Middle Atmosphere meeting in Monterey in June, and will be presenting papers on some of this work.
The ISAMS Version 8 Validation Report (by Clive Rodgers and 20 others) is now available for anyone who's interested.
