There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"They risk their lives in the eye of the hurricane" is the translation of the headline for this Die Welt story on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Hurricane Hunters squadron. Greg Huey, professor and chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, is interviewed regarding the data collected by NOAA's aircraft as they fly into and near these massive storms. The story is in German, and a subscription is required.
