In Memoriam: Dr Ray Arritt

For over the past ten years, Dr Ray Arritt has administered the Iowa Environmental Mesonet project. I am sorry to share that he suffered a stroke earlier this week and will not survive. He was a wonderful friend, excellent scientist and strong supporter of this project. He was an avid reader of my "Daily Features" posted on this website and would often engage me with questions and ideas. So it seems only fitting to eulogize him with a feature. He did a tremendous amount of work to provide me funding and resources to keep the IEM project going these many years. His guidance will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
