			<title>NSF Awards $19 Million Science & Technology Center to Improve Cloud Modeling</title>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
			
				The National Science Foundation today awarded Colorado State University and its partners a $19 million Science and Technology Center to build climate models that will more accurately depict cloud processes, improving climate and weather forecasting for scientists around the world. The NSF Science and Technology Center for Multi-Scale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes will be based at Colorado State in the College of Engineerings renowned Department of Atmospheric Science. David Randall, professor of atmospheric science since 1988, will serve as principal investigator and director of the center.

			<![CDATA[
			
				A device, a plastic rain gauge, gives Anderson information that&apos;s relevant to all those backyard elements. It&apos;s also brought him into a national scientific study to better understand how rainfall amounts vary, even across areas the size of Albuquerque and smaller. 

While TV viewers are familiar with technology like the Doppler radar, it&apos;s simple equipment like Anderson&apos;s rain gauge that helps weather officials understand the bigger picture. In fact, a study launched by Colorado State University uses information from volunteers like Anderson, and needs even more.

			<title>CloudSat and CALIPSO Collect New Images of Tropical Storms and Clouds</title>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
			
				Remote-sensing devices that scientists use to observe the atmosphere come in two varieties: passive sensors and active sensors. A passive sensor detects light or heat of certain wavelengths that enters its field of view. An active sensor probes the environment by sending out a pulse of energy and measuring how long it takes the signal to return and how its frequency, wavelength, or intensity has changed. The energy pulse can be microwaves or radio waves (radar) or light (lidar).

				The West hasn&apos;t run out of water, but there&apos;s no longer enough for everyone who needs it. Urban growth and drought have boosted demand for water and crimped supply. Because it&apos;s so hard to build new reservoirs or obtain permits to drill new water wells, the only option cities have is to buy ag water, says Neil Grigg, a Colorado State University water specialist and civil engineering professor. It&apos;s a very strong trend.

			<title>Water Resources Archive Exhibit Marks 30th Anniversary of Big Thompson Flood</title>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
			
				Thirty years ago, what should have been a typical thunderstorm ended up as the worst natural disaster in Colorado history. The storm stalled over the Thompson Canyon, dumping 12 inches of rain in approximately four hours. The Big Thompson Flood killed 144 people, destroyed 418 homes and 52 businesses and created $35,500,000 in damages. To mark the 30th anniversary of this devastating event, the Water Resources Archive at Colorado State University Libraries - in the midst of its own five-year anniversary - has created an exhibit for audiences to experience the Big Thompson Flood. &apos;Water Through Time: An Exhibit Recalling Colorado Water Events Upon the Fifth Anniversary of the Water Resources Archive&apos; marks the Big Thompson Flood anniversary and other landmark events in Colorado&apos;s water history.
