Drs Gosset, Viltard and Roca attended the recent PMM Workshop meeting in Seattle in early November. They presented the status of the mission as well as the numerous preliminary results obtainded during the Megha-Tropiques pre-launch campaign, in Africa, this summer. The conference was also a good opportunity to discuss with the PMM scientists and to witness the fast evolving GPM program. A number of forthcoming meetings are planned where these interactions will be pursued.
