The MicroRad meeting is currently held every other year and provides an international forum for presentation and discussion of the latest achievements in microwave radiometry. The first MicroRad meeting was held in Rome in 1983 and the next meeting will be held in Helsinki, Finland in the spring of 2016. MicroRad has always been organized as a single sequence of oral presentations (single track). This year the organizing committee attempted to incorporate the poster discussions into the central flow of discussion by organizing the posters to be given in two sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday in between the third and fourth oral half sessions of those days. The technical topics of the poster sessions were aligned to not overlap with the adjacent afternoon oral presentations in an attempt to spread out discussion topics over the entire week so that there was something for everyone during all phases on the meeting. The final program was organized into 16 oral sessions and 10 poster sessions divided over 2 days (see Table 1). The oral sessions were held in the expansive Ramo Auditorium near the center of the CalTech Campus and Figure 2. Attendees of MicroRad 2014 enjoying a break between sessions. Figure 3.
