NCAR BOUTIQUE

While walking away from the beaches of Florence, Italy, this autumn, Peter Wagner (son ofthe High Altitude Observatory's William Wagner) and his companion Christopher Phelanspotted this shop. What could have been sold there? Acid rain coats? JAWS posters?Stellar wind bags? Cuddly, stuffed CRAYfish? Or perhaps there were models wearing thelatest creations--Maunder jackets (with spots that change to suit your every mood);(radio)active sportswear by Martell (to delight your radon daughters)--all with strato-spheric prices. Unfortunately, the boutique was closed, so we will never know. *EA, SB

ANNOUNCEMENTS

AGU/AMS SYMPOSIUM

Each year, UCAR and NCAR present a summary ofNCAR's current activities, future plans, and pro-posed budgets to the director of the NationalScience Foundation (NSF). The presentation will bemade this year at NSF headquarters in Washington,D.C. on 11 April.

To prepare for the presentation, NCAR directorWilmot Hess will give a dress rehearsal on Wednes-day, 16 March, beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the MainSeminar Room. In past years, comments and sugges-tions received at the open rehearsals have helpedimprove the final presentations. All interestedstaff are invited to attend the rehearsal, whichwill last about two hours.

TIAA/CREF RETIREMENT ILLUSTRATIONS

If you are interested in obtaining retirementincome illustrations from TIAA/CREF, the PersonnelOffice recently received forms for that purpose.This service should be of special interest to thoseemployees who are nearing retirement age, particu-larly since these illustrations will be much moredetailed than the annual blue and yellow statementsthat all participants in TIAA/CREF receive. Forfurther information, contact Sandi Hoff inML room 150A of the Personnel Office (ext. 586).

PUBLIC THESIS DEFENSE

Graduate student Mary Anne Carroll (Massachu-setts Institute of Technology) will be defendingher dissertation publicly. Her dissertation isentitled "An Experimental Study of the Fluxes ofReduced Sulfur Gases from a Salt Water Marsh," andher examining committee includes two members ofNCAR's Atmospheric Chemistry and Aeronomy Division(Ralph Cicerone and Leroy Heidt).

The dissertation defense is scheduled for Fri-day, 18 March, from 9:00 a.m. until noon, and willbe held in the Damon Room. NCAR staff members andvisitors are welcome.

Copy deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday for publica-tion on Friday. Office: Mesa Laboratory room 259.Phone: 303-494-5151, ext. 644.

Local branches of the American GeophysicalUnion and the American Meteorological Society arecosponsoring a one-day symposium next Friday,18 March, on the "Climatic Effects of Volcanic Dustand Aerosols in the Upper Atmosphere."

Symposium speakers are drawn from across thecountry, and include William Kellogg and StephenSchneider from NCAR. The symposium itself has beenorganized into four broad topics: The history andcauses of climatic variations, explosive volcanism,atmospheric effects and observations of volcanism,

and the climatic and cultural consequences of vol-canic eruptions.

The symposium will be held in the auditorium ofthe National Bureau of Standards building(325 Broadway) in Boulder, and is scheduled to runfrom 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The event is opento the public.

PROFS SEMINAR

The Prototype Regional Observing and Forecast-ing Service (PROFS) Progam Office will be holding aseminar on Wednesday, 16 March. The speaker willbe Alexander (Sandy) MacDonald (director of thePROFS Program Office), who will discuss a "1983Real-Time Exercise." The seminar will be held inroom W179 of RL-6 beginning at 10:00 a.m.

EARLY ZOT

The next regular quarterly purge of VSNs fromthe TMS-4 will occur on 26 March--earlier thanusual because of the spring holiday. The purgewill affect VSNs not accessed since 8 January.

Users must update VSNs before the purge date if

they wish to keep them. VSNs on dedicated andarchival reels and PLIB and PSTORE VSNs will not bepurged.

A CRAY-1 version of the users' utility program(TBMVSN) is now available. Data-card images andoutput are the same as on the CDC 7600 version, butthe JCL is different. A job format for the newversion will appear in the Scientific ComputingDivision's Daily Bulletin, and a handout will beavailable in the consulting office (ext. 759).

A new utility called UPKEEP (for TBM volumemaintenance) was announced in the 1 January issueof the Record (vol. 4, no. 1, pages 8-10). Thisprogram can be very helpful to users who wish toupdate valuable or delete unneeded volumes.

Questions may be addressed to Mary Trembour,ext. 450.
