COMPUTING ACCEPTS IBM 4341 AS NEW I/O SYSTEM

on the afternoon of Fr'iday, 1 May, SCD director Water Nhicintyre (right) presented payment for the hardware to Jerry Archibald (center right) of IBM in the Damon Room of the Mesa Laboratory. Donna Arnold of Contracts (center left) and Jeanne Adams of SCD (left) were also present.

LAWRENCE FARLEY Colleagues

and friends

of Lawrence Farley, an

engineering technician at the National Scientific Balloon Facility (NSBF) in Palestine, Texas, were saddened by his sudden death earlier this month. Larry had been with NSBF for four years. On Saturday, 16 May, he suffered a stroke. He is survived by his wife and three daughters (two of whom are currently attending Brighan Young University). Larry was 47 years of age. *

SYMPOSIUM ON FORECASTING GROWING SEASONS Next Tuesday, 9 June, the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies will be holding a symposium on "Forecasting for Food Growing Seasons: Theory, Reliability, Application." The symposium will be held in the Main Seminar Room of the Mesa Laboratory beginning at 9:00 a.m. and will be open to the public. The morning session (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon) is comprised of the following presentations: * "Climate Forecasting and the Looming New World Food Crisis." Walter Orr Roberts, Aspen Institute. * "New Data Sources: Opportunities for Seasonal Forecasting." Thomas Vonder Haar, Colorado State University. * "Ocean/Atmosphere Indicators for Seasonal Climate Forecasting." Daniel Cayan, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. 0 "Forecasting Precipitation and Temperature for Growing Season Months." Reid Bryson, University of Wisconsin. * "World Climate Indicators in Predicting Regional Crop Yields." James McQuigg, private consultant. The afternoon session (1:00 to 4:00 p.m.) will be a discussion among the speakers, a panel of NCAR staff members, and the audience, moderated by Stephen Schneider (Advanced Study Program). For further information on the symposium, contact Lloyd Slater (Aspen Institute) at 443-1230. *

ANNOUNCEMENTS BLOOD BANK REMINDER The Employee Activities Committee would like to remind the staff that the mobile unit from the Belle Bonfils Memorial Blood Bank will visit the NCAR Mesa Laboratory on Tuesday, 23 June, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Sign-up sheets will be distributed next week; if you wish to donate, return the fom to Patti Zinn (ext. 270) by Thursday, 18 June. Even if you do not have a scheduled appointment, you may still stop by the Damon Room on 23 June if you decide to give blood. Whether or not you donate blood, you and your family are eligible to use the NCAR bank in almost any hospital in the country. Your doctor or hospital should contact Blair Smallwood (ext. 543) or Sandi Hoff (ext. 586) if blood is needed. DISCOUNT COUPONS Discount coupon books, published by Mountain Rose Publishing, are available to NCAR staff at no cost. The coupons are good for this summer and fall. You can obtain a coupon book by contacting Barbara Summers in the NCAR Library, ext. 421. ZOT! The next regular quarterly purge of VSNs from the TMS-4 will occur on 5 July and will affect VSNs not accessed since 31 March. NOTE: Purges affecting VSNs not accessed during a particular calendar quarter occur regularly at the beginning of the next quarter. Users are responsible for accessing during the quarter those VSNs that they wish to retain. Please use the STAGEOUT=UD parameter if you are updating only. A previous proposal to allow use of the "UD" for only three successive quarters before requiring a normal read access to save a VSN for a fourth quarter will NOT be invoked. As usual, VSNs on dedicated tapes and PLIB (PO4xxx and P05xxx) VSNs will not be purged. Archival VSNs

Staff Notes is published weekly by the Publications Office of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, Colorado 80307. Writer/Editor: Sally Bates Production Assistants: Reed Glenn, Mary Boyer Copy deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday for publication on Friday. Office: Mesa Laboratory room 259. Phone: 303-494-5151, ext. 644.

The Scientific Computing Division recognizes that there are some TMS-4 mass storage system users who need to save data volumes over a long term without accessing them. An ARCHIVAL storage system has been set up to meet this need. VSNs located on ARCHIVAL tapes may not be updated, and will be accessible on a read-only basis for a short period during evening shifts when time is available. To move your sleeping-but-necessary volumes to an ARCHIVAL tape, please contact Mary Trembour on ext. 450.
