This is a hearty tomato based clam chowder, which is unlike the traditional New England, cream based clam chowder. It is delicious and an East coast favorite!
Happy National Soup Month!

Are you interested in writing opinion pieces, blogs, or other articles for broad audiences, including experts in different geoscience disciplines and the science-interested public? The UCAR Communications Office is sponsoring a lunch-and-learn session with Eos editor-in-chief Heather Goss and science editor Tim Oleson. They will discuss how to write compelling and informative pieces for Eos. Their advice can also be applied to writing more broadly.
The online session will run from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, January 28. Please register in advance: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMpd-2qrD0vG9DMMfPo6eqhSIQyi7L...

ABSTRACT
The Stable Atmospheric Variability And Transport (SAVANT) field campaign, collected data to understand the atmospheric characteristics during nocturnal drainage flows in shallow gullies. SAVANT was focused on understanding the complexities of the stable boundary layer. The campaign produced a rich dataset from ISS and ISFS facilities. Two Aerosol lidars and one Doppler lidar monitored the evolution of flow structure and movement of a tracer plume. This presentation will provide results of the initial investigation of drainage flow occurrences and their structure from the post-processed LiDAR data. Some of the key differences in turbulence observed due to the harvesting of crops will also be presented.
If you have any questions about the seminar, reach out to Jacquie Witte or Melissa Ward.

French Toast with Fresh Raspberry Butter
I enjoy making French Toast when I have bread that's slightly dried out or coarse in texture. I switch up what I serve with it to give a different flavor profile like maple syrup or assorted flavors of syrup. But I really like serving it with a “Fresh Raspberry Butter” that you can also serve on pancakes, waffles or bagels. You can substitute the raspberries for blackberries, blueberries, strawberries or cherries - or even try it with crushed pineapple! I found this recipe in a “Farmers Market Cookbook “ and hope you enjoy this for brunch over the weekend!

Our organization’s new, central staff portal “Sundog” is coming soon! Here are some of the exciting features Sundog will bring:
Sundog is designed to make information for staff easy to find and monitor. Three key features will help you say goodbye to browser bookmarks for good (at least for internal info): search, watches, and favorites.
Check out the No Bookmarks Needed preview document for more information about these features. The functionality described will be available when Sundog launches and will become even more robust as additional information is added to the site.
Don't forget to also check out the Sundog Forums preview, and keep an eye out for more on Sundog features, tips, and tricks in the coming weeks.
About Sundog Sundogs are a phenomenon formed when sunlight is refracted through tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere, causing bright spots of light around the Sun. They are most visible when the Sun is near the horizon, rising or setting. Our new staff portal will also be a place that brings bright spots of light to employees and a place to start and end their days.

Hope you had a chance to check out Chef Nancy's recipe for meatballs yesterday. Here is my take on a meatball recipe that is great for the winter time. My family loves meatballs and this recipe can be eaten with tortillas, chips, or rice. Enjoy!

Meatballs really do burst in your mouth with flavor! And is there any word that sounds more delicious than meatball? Well, unless you’re vegetarian -- and even then I can make a pretty mean case for really tasty vegetarian meatballs! What makes the “meat” is in the eye of the beholder, right?!
Meatballs are made everywhere from just about any meat or vegetable plus fillers of bread, binder, and seasoning. This recipe is a basic meatball made with beef & pork. They are typically sautéed, roasted, grilled, stewed, poached, or cooked in spaghetti sauce -- then served as sandwiches, skewers, salads, enjoyed with potatoes & gravy, or on a plate by themselves with sauce. Or make sure you have a nice crusty loaf of bread ready to serve with this one, because you may not want any pasta!
