PI Remarks (Patrick Veres):


“AEROMMA White Paper was submitted to elementa last week. So, we should see some progress on that at some point. NOAA AEROMMA website will be updated shortly with the sort of the most recent my paper and some other editions. The calendar should be up to date. We hope to get a payload diagram on there soon. We are updating the e-mail list, separating them into AEROMMA, Cupids and AGES.

Most of the folks on this call have been involved in the DC-8. For those who have not, we encourage you to lean on the people who have been there.

If you want to contact any of your AEROMMA PIs, we encourage you to contact all 4 PIs, Becky Schwantes, Carsten Warneke, Drew Rollins and Patrick Veres to get the fastest response.”
