Lots of interest in improving/innovating tracking/telemetry.

What I find curious is the, in contrast, often resigned attitude toward severe unpredictable weather...we know it happens, we can only go so far in preparing for it, often we're caught by surprise (several compelling anecdotes of such).

I'd like to think that 20 years from now, the current radar inability to detect a wx threat e.g. a high-velocity updraft (also alluded to in compelling anecdotes) will seem tragically archaic.
