SSEC/CIMSS Wows at WeatherFest
On Sunday, 22 January 2012, the day before the official opening of the AMS Convention, the 11th Annual WeatherFest science fair drew an excited crowd of weather enthusiasts, all eager to experience dozens of interactive meteorology, oceanography and related science exhibits.
Tom Whittaker, Patrick Rowley, Rick Kohrs, and Margaret Mooney ran the SSEC booth, introducing fascinated children and their parents to the world of satellite meteorology, helping them navigate several SSEC-created, weather-related applets on kiosk-mode touch monitors, and fielding questions from both young and old.
