Provide a framework for developing a strategy leading to an optimal 21st Century national atmospheric information system
Provide a framework for developing a strategy leading to an optimal 21st Century national atmospheric information system
Overarching goal is to:
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVESWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
Introduce and define the issue of providing atmospheric information in an evolving, decentralized national system
Consider atmospheric information issues in the context of a wide spectrum of meteorological disciplines or areas of application
Explore collection and distribution methodologies and related issues focused on making atmospheric information more universally available
