Meeting Support for a Symposium with Tributes to Verner E. Suomi; Madison, Wisconsin; June 27-July 2, 1999

该奖项为Verner E. Suomi研讨会提供了部分支持，该研讨会将与1999年6月27日至7月2日在威斯康星州麦迪逊举行的第10届AMS大气辐射会议同时举行。研讨会向已故的索米教授致敬，他是地球和空间科学许多领域，特别是卫星遥感领域的先驱。研讨会将审查遥感技术的现状，并确定遥感领域未来的挑战。计划包括在《美国气象学会公报》上发表会议和专题讨论会的记录。希望这次研讨会能成为创新思想的催化剂，就像Suomi教授是科学的催化剂一样。NSF是为本次研讨会提供支持的几个联邦机构之一。

This award provides partial support for the Verner E. Suomi Symposium, which will be held in conjunction with the 10th AMS Conference on Atmospheric Radiation, June 27 - July 2, 1999 in Madison, Wisconsin. The symposium honors the late Professor Suomi, a pioneer in many areas of earth and space science and particularly in remote sensing from satellites. The symposium will review the current state of the art and identify future challenges in remote sensing. Plans include publishing the proceeding of the conference and symposium in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. It is hoped that the symposium will serve as the catalyst for innovative ideas, much as Professor Suomi was a catalyst for the science. NSF is one of several federal agencies providing support for this symposium.
