The AOSS Library, in collaboration with the American Meteorological Society Oral History Project, conducted oral history interviews with prominent figures in satellite meteorology at the AMS Joint Satellite Conference in Boston, MA, September 28 – October 4, 2019.
These interviews invited leading remote sensing scientists to share their perspectives and stories on the innovations in, and evolution of, satellite capabilities, future directions of the field, as well as touchstones of their careers, influential relationships, and the role of the AMS in their professional lives. They elaborated on subjective details of their lives and careers that would not otherwise have been captured in the scholarly literature.
Oral history preserves the memories and voices of participants and their perspectives on past events.
