Matthew's Journal

I'm back in the office today. I've been in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the 2008 AGU Joint Assembly. I gave a talk outlining a false positive precipitation indication in the passive microwave dataset from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite and the potential to use passive microwave sensors to classify low clouds based on thickness.

The talk seemed to be well received. I always take it as a good sign when people say "good talk" before asking questions at the end of your presentation. I also received some good feedback and some useful suggestions to aid and direct my research. From the perspective of wanting to communicating research results and acquire useful feedback, I think the trip was a success.
