Extra Lunch: Thursday February 12th, 2015

11:30 am, 1st Avenue food court downtown, at the bigger tables near the entrance.


Technical Meeting: Thursday February 12th, 2015

We're bringing back Dennis DeLorme, and hoping that he doesn't trigger another whiteout ;)

Dennis DeLorme on "UV Index Measurement in the Pacific".

--

We took a UV sensor with us on a recent cruise and did UV measurements under different conditions.

The talk will cover what the UV Index is and conditions that affect it. The next topic is how to measure it using a low cost sensor and available technology from my basement. (Your basement may vary, but there is nothing too esoteric.) I'll talk about the hardware and software needed. At the end I'll cover some things to consider for future expeditions.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?
