Hi Melanie,

No worries.

I have been working with Vilma Castro:

Dr. Vilma Castro Leon
"Vilma Castro" <address@hidden>
Universidad de Costa Rica
San Jose, Costa Rica

>He mentioned a NASA aircraft research program
>(I think related to tropical cloud structure) being planned in Costa
>Rica.

Yes.  I met with the new NASA representative to the Unidata Policy
Committee, Don Anderson, who told me about the research program being
staged out of Juan Santamaria airport in San Jose.  I have been trying
to get Vilma interested in jointly submitting a proposal for
participation in this experiment.

what is your student's name?  I will send a note to Vilma to
let her know that he is in San Jose making contacts (I will
be contacting here on NOAAPORT matters tomorrow anyway).

Cheers,

Tom
