ASP Retreat Maura Hagan15 October 2007 “The visit to NCAR not only enriched my knowledge base, it also provided direction for my own research. Through conversations with NCAR scientists about the Mexico City field data, I was able to gain an understanding of how modeling could help reveal the processes causing some interesting phenomena observed there.” William Vizuete University of Texas - San Antonio Faculty Fellowship Program Success Testimonial to the value and impact of the FFP
