The Meteorological Society of Puerto Rico (MSPR), which is a Local Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) promotes weather education and shares knowledge of atmospheric and related sciences to the general community in Puerto Rico. As part of these efforts they celebrated the Weather Festival at the Rafael A. Mangual Coliseum of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez during March 23, 2007. This day was appointed as the World Meteorology Day and many other activities took place around the globe. The GERS Lab participated in this Festival, where Vilmaliz Rodriguez and Patrick Reyes explained the basic concepts of Remote Sensing, talked about our work, and showed satellite images of our planet. Multiple students from elementary to high schools attended the activity.
