Title:

Proceedings of the Workshop on Strategy for Providing Atmospheric Information

Abstract:

The Workshop on Strategy for Providing Atmospheric Information was held in December 2001. The theme of the Forum was " Planning to Exploit our National Investment in Weather Technology." A cross-section of more than 150 people participated in the workshop, including representatives of the government, private, academic, and other sectors. The workshop was sponsored by the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (OFCM). The purpose of the workshop was to address issues identified in studies conducted by OFCM and the National Research Council (NRC) as the 21st Century approached. The workshop examined how the everincreasing inventory of atmospheric information could be accessed and used by those who need it. The issue was divided into two parts?1) getting the information to where it is needed and 2) insuring that users can read and understand that information. This document summarizes the proceedings of the workshop, captures the recommendations of the breakout sessions and panels, and summarizes the issues and actions that were addressed and proposed at the workshop.
