AMS Clinic4

This page is a repository of information for planning the 4th AMS Data Analysis Clinic Meeting, which will take place in Boulder in Spring 2012. A shorcut to this page is http://tinyurl.com/AMSClinic4

Dates and Location

Tentative dates: The 4th AMS Instrument and Data Analysis Clinic Meeting may take place from Sun March 25, 2012 to Fri March 30, 2012 at the University of Colorado-Boulder. We'll start Sun @ 1 pm (after lunch). It will be organized by the Jimenez Group. We will post information here as it becomes available.

The people who should attend this clinic are those who are directly doing (or are VERY involved in directly supervising) AMS data analysis of field or lab data. The clinic will be much less useful for PIs who are not directly involved in data analysis, or for people who are just starting to learn about the AMS but haven't done serious data analysis yet. Attendees are expected to bring to the Clinic datasets in which they are currently working, and be ready to use them as a basis for discussion with the group.

The presentations and discussions will end on Thu @ 4 pm, followed by Happy Hour at a local restaurant on Fri. afternoon, and hiking, skiing, snowshoeing or other activities on Friday for people who can stay an extra day, so please plan your flights accordingly. As planned, this is "out of phase" with the AMS Users Meeting and the heavy Fall meeting season (AAAR, EAC, AMS Users Meeting, AGU...).

There is no registration fee, but please let us know if you are coming to plan food, coffee, tables, power, internet, name tags, hotel room block, etc.

Feedback from past Clinics has been very positive overall, and you can see the details here and here.
