Adviser and I settled on submitting one journal article based on my M.S. thesis, with the cloud physics results the major focus. The current plan is to submit it to the AMS Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology. We're going to save the visualization software focus for later in the summer when she can incorporate some of the visualization stuff used by one of my labmates and submit that to the more general Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. I'll be second author on the cloud physics paper, which apparently is tradition for an M.S. grad, and I'm fine with that. I'll likely be a coauthor somewhere on the later viz paper too, considering how much input into development I had.
After Toni and I get back from vacation, I'll start working on a draft, with a goal of submitting it for my adviser to review by the time I go to Boulder for WRF training in mid-July so we can hopefully submit to the AMS and start the official review process by mid-August and the start of Fall semester.
I originally thought I'd load up on classes for Fall to get some of my additional course requirements for my Ph.D. out of the way ASAP, but since pickings are slim, my adviser will be gone on sabbatical starting the following semester, and I may be TA-ing for the first time, we're thinking of having me not take any classes in the Fall. Instead, I could concentrate on learning to use WRF proficiently while she is around, and then take classes when she's gone in Spring. I may also take my quals in December before she leaves. She's thinking of having me TA the undergrad atmospheric thermodynamics class (that she used to teach and that I took my first semester in the program) and the accompanying lab. When I pointed out I never actually took the lab part, she said I could probably still teach it in my sleep.
