2008 METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY PHOTO COMPETITION
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2008 photo competition. There were many entries of near equal
judgment this time around and the judges task required three assessments and a final teleconference to come to consensus.
So, well done to all entries to this year's competition.
