National Centers for Environmental Prediction
Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) Seminar


The NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP)


5830 University Research Court College Park, MD 20740

Remote Access to EMC seminars
For last few seminars, the GTM line was full for EMC seminars and many people could not connect GTM. EMC is working on upgrade EMC GTM to increase the number of lines. Dial in callers without Audio pin will be dismissed, when anyone start making noise.

The Conference center is located on the right of the main entrance. Rm2155 is located in 2F.

Posters for seminars are posted at
