Subject: Severe weather Week April 9-13
Submitter:
Bruce K Bengry, Safety Specialist, Public Safety

Message: WATCHES
Watches are issue when conditions are favorable for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms or flash floods.
If you are in a "watch" area, continue with normal activities, but also make plans to seek shelter if necessary.

WARNINGS
Warnings are issued when severe weather has been reported or is imminent. Seek shelter immediately if you are in or near the path of the storm. Warnings are issued by count and city names. Make sure you know the name of the county in which you live and the names of the cities that surround you.

ADVANCED INFORMATION
The process of of forecasting and warning begins days ahead of time, when the threat area is determined. Hazardous weather outlooks are issued early every morning and updated as conditions warrant.

IF A WATCH IS ISSUED
when the National Weather Service issues a weather watch, local weather offices are staffed with extra personnel and notify state officials. They pass the information to the county and local level. Counties and cities activate their spotter groups as the threat increases. TV and radio stations pass the word to the public.

IF A WARNING IS ISSUED
Warnings are disseminated swiftly, using hotlines and other tools, including TV, radio and the internet. People may receive warnings via cell phones, pagers and other methods. Storm spotters provide constant reports and officials carry out plans developed by the Emergency Managers. Updates are issued frequently until the threat has ended.

EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
Media outlets receive warning information and provide it to you by interrupting programming or using a "crawl" or other visual message. Finally, the tone-alert feature of a NOAA Weather Radio will also activate special receivers, sounding an alarm to alert you to the danger.
County and local law enforcement centers are also warned of impending severe weather via special phone lines and radio systems.
Using the National Weather Services information, local and county officials decide whether to sound the outdoor warning sirens.

Subject: Sverdrup Lecture Program Events April 16 & 17
Submitter:
Jeanine A Gregoire, Associate Professor, Education

Message: Sverdrup Public Lecture
Free and Open to the Public
"Exploring the Giant Magnetosphere of Jupiter"
April 16 - 8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Hoversten Chapel, Foss Center; Parking in Lot L off of 25th Ave. and Riverside, Minneapolis.

Abstract: Jupiter is a planet of superlatives: it is the most massive planet in the solar system, rotates the fastest, has the strongest magnetic field, and has the most massive satellite system of any planet. These unique properties lead to active volcanoes on Io, a ton per second of sulfur and oxygen being spewed out of the moon, a vast population of energetic plasma trapped in the planet's strong magnetic field, and intense auroral emissions in Jupiter's polar atmosphere. The giant magnetosphere of Jupiter has been explored by telescopes on Earth, Hubble Space Telescope, several spacecraft flying past the planet plus the Galileo spacecraft that spent seven years in orbit. This talk will discuss our current understanding of this huge, dynamic structure and present what we hope to learn from the New Horizons spacecraft as it flies down Jupiter's magnetotail on its way to Pluto (spring 2007) and from the Juno mission (launch due in 2011) that will skim over Jupiter's poles.

Divisional Colloquium
“Women in Physics & Astronomy: Moving Beyond 'the Woman Problem'”
April 17 - Noon-1:00, Minneapolis Room, Christiansen Center; Parking in Lot L off of 25th Ave. and Riverside.

Abstract: Statistical studies of demographics by professional organizations such as the American Institute of Physics show practical reasons for moving from "how do we help these poor women" to "how to educate/hire/retain the talent we needed to supply a technical-trained workforce." Dr. Bagenal will discuss the professional pipeline, where it is leaky and how it can be fixed - including allowing for multiple pathways.

Biography: Fran Bagenal came to the US from England in 1976 to attend graduate school at MIT where she worked on data from the Voyager mission for her PhD. Her primary research interests are the magnetic fields of planets, the charged particles trapped in planetary magnetic fields and the interactions of moons with the particles and fields that surround them. She has been involved in the Voyager mission (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune), Galileo (Jupiter), Deep Space 1 (Comet Borrelly), the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Juno mission to Jupiter's polar regions. She is Professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences in the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Funding for the Sverdrup Visiting Scientist Lecture Program made possible through the Sverdrup Endowment Fund, Augsburg College and the Minnesota Space Grant Consortium. For more information or to receive a poster of the Sverdrup Lecture call 612-330-1324 and leave your name, telephone number and mailing address and someone will return your call.
