So much public interest in microwave satellite retrieval?

A University of Maryland researcher wanted to come to Norman to consult with us because he is using our nowcasting technique on satellite data. I asked him to give a seminar since he was going to be at the National Weather Center anyway.

Imagine my surprise when, on my morning commute this morning, there was an announcement on the local radio station for a seminar on "microwave satellite-based rainfall improvements". And in my inbox, a media request to talk about the seminar. It must be a really slow news day!

Folks, this will be a very technical seminar. Not really meant for the general public.
