Greetings
So I've got a fair bit of practice at identifying falling meteorites in
radar data now, and a great deal of radar data taking up space on my hard
drive. I want this data used to actually collect meteorites, but there's no
way I can cover all that ground myself. So I'm going to try something here,
and see if I can put the power of the internet to use to get radar data into
the hands of people who will actually use it to go pick up meteorites.
I've started a blog where I will post radar data from prominent (and
not so prominent) meteor events. I've started with Lorton, and I could use
y'all's feedback on what you'd like to see in there. By that I mean - go have
a look, and let me know what other data you'd like to see in the event writeup.
Also, what other events would you like to see posted? I'll be entering a few
more in the next week or so, as time permits.
As much as I enjoy doing this, it does eat up a lot of my time. I've
added a "tip jar" feature so that y'all can send me encouragement as you see
fit. I think that strikes a nice middle ground between spending next to no
time at all on this work and actually trying to charge people to use the
information. I don't like either of those options, so let's see how this
works. I will also have to strike a balance between dumping information on the
internet and producing scientific publications, but I don't foresee that being
too much of a problem.
Have a look, and let me know what y'all think.
