Mr. Boe's technical papers have been published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological
Society, the Journal of Applied Meteorology, the Journal of Weather Modification, and
Atmospheric Research. He has presented numerous papers at technical conferences. His work
has also been featured in Discover Magazine and Nickelodeon Magazine.
