Spring Party Packs inAwards, Food, Fun

Diversity was the hallmark ofNCAR's spring party, held lastFriday, 6 April, in the Mesa Lab lobbyand cafeteria. Music ranged fromclassical (provided by the ColumbineString Quartet) to classic jazz (fromthe High Society Jazz Band). Theattendees' attire was similarly eclectic:while many played it casual, a goodnumber of staff dressed to the hilt,"Puttin' on the Ritz" both figuratively

pd literally. Wearing a giant Ritzacker box, Joan Burkepile took the

literal approach. She and LeonardSitongia, both of the High AltitudeObservatory (HAO), won top honorsfor best costume following an"applause poll" conducted by theEmployee Activities Committee'sGary Barnes.

The long-awaited 1989 PerformanceAwards were presented by NCARdirector Bob Serafin (see photos onpage 2). Honorable mention went toHAO's Art Richmond for outstandingpublication and to the AtmosphericTechnology Division's Mile HighRadar team (Frank Pratte, DonFerraro, Joe Van Andel, Steve Maher,Gary Blair, and Bill Bragg) fortechnical support. *BH

SCD Seminar to Explain GraphicsCode Conversion

The Scientific Computing Divi-sion is presenting a seminar onconverting graphics codes to theGraphical Kernel System (GKS)version of NCAR Graphics. Anycodes that use the pre-GKS version ofNCAR Graphics (which was based onthe NCAR System Plot Package, orNSPP) must be converted. The pre-GKS system will not be available orsupported after 1 October, when theCRAY X-MP/48 is retired and thenew CRAY Y-MP8/864, runningUNICOS, will have been installed.

The seminar will cover recom-mended conversion steps, changes inthe coordinate systems, clipping, andother differences between the pre-GKS and GKS systems. A samplecode conversion will also be outlined.The seminar will be presented twiceon successive Wednesdays, 18 and25 April, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. inRL-6 room W-179 (18 April) and in theMain Seminar Room of the Mesa Lab(25 April).

INO carries out andconducts scientific research programs incollaboration with and support of universityand other research Laboratories.On October 1, 1989 INO became an integralpart of the new Naval Oceanographic andAtmospheric Research Laboratory (NOARL).This Navy laboratory performs integratedresearch and development in ocean science,ocean acoustics, atmospheric science, andrelated technologies to improve and supportNavy systems and operations.INO is currently seeking persons for thefollowing positions:
