Was that alleviated? overblown? an active problem that I just haven't paid enough attention to to notice?
Thanks
UPDATE: @effika has the answer: we put limits on transmission to prevent the interference from happening and I just stopped hearing about it because we solved it. It's a y2k situation where the fix is sort of invisible but the worry was loud
sources:
I think the solution was to limit the power on mmwave transmitters? NOAA was fine with it if they did that and I haven't heard any of my weather friends up in arms about it lately.
Yeah looks like this is it!
(Always like to come back with sources if I can)
So I think this is true but also not the whole picture — the proposed limits haven't been implemented in the US yet, for instance, but despite that the ECMWF accuracy verification charts don't show decreased accuracy over the expected timespan. The precipitation prediction chart does show some decreased accuracy, but only down to 2020 accuracy and far from the 30% decrease anticipated by Benish et. al.. Part of the difficulty is that though the FCC has "launched a proceeding" to start implementing more stringent controls, it's not clear what the current 24GHz leakage limits are and how they compare to the -20dBW/200MHz that initially caused so much concern.
I remember this being a big deal at the time but this was the twitter era all things were overblown
based on the above: the problem wasn't overblown, it was just solved to zero fanfare
