[Narccap-topic-extremes] NARCCAP Extremes - What are you doing?

[Gutowski, William J [GE AT]]

Kelly:
	Thanks for the quick feedback.  I should point out that Toni Rosati and
Seth McGinnis did the lion's share of the work in putting the pod
together.  I just supplied some of the information.
	This is one example of the different varieties of approaches people are
using for studying extremes.  I'm of course looking forward to seeing your
publications.

Cheers,
Bill
