Naufal Razin did a Zoom interview with WTSP News in Tampa Bay, FL on the potential impacts of the loss of the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data on the ability of forecasters to forecast hurricanes. The U.S. Department of Defense announced that they will no longer be processing and distributing SSMIS data beyond June 30 2025 (now extended to July 31 2025). There are three satellites carrying the SSMIS sensor currently in orbit, and they provide crucial information on hurricane structure. Snippets from the interview were used in the news segments found here: https://youtu.be/ShQLWmMqChA?feature=shared and here: https://youtu.be/tcTWSfjYvE8?feature=shared (POC: N. Razin, naufal.razin@colostate.edu)
