In mid-June, a team of scientists from NOAA’s Boulder, CO, office visited Flagstaff. Led by Tilden Meyers and Dave Turner, the group was conducting a scouting trip to identify possible field sites for an extensive array of new instrumentation to study boundary layer processes, land-atmosphere interactions, and fire weather dynamics. Andrew met up with the group during their tour of the Flagstaff Arboretum, which was provided by Arboretum Director Nate O’Meara.
