Gilbert Sebenste

Kudos

NIU meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste received a $4,500 grant from UNIDATA (www.unidata.ucar.edu), a branch of the University Center for Atmospheric Research, funded by the National Science Foundation, to upgrade his office’s computer system. This will allow NIU Weather to reach out and become a database warehouse for those doing research in the field of meteorology, as well as upgrade the severe warning system on campus by providing faster delivery of e-mail warnings. In addition, the main Web site eventually will have more data for students and faculty to help them see when bad weather is on the way. Sebenste plans to add more near-real-time lightning and radar data to the site this winter.
