In case you weren't already aware of it, the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) at NOAA and NCAR in Boulder, Colorado publishes a quarterly newsletter describing its work on issues involving research to operations (R2O) transitions. The DTC was established to accelerate these transitions, and also to facilitate communication and code transfers in the other direction (operations to research — O2R) to improve the ability of research institutions to have a more direct and timely impact on operations.

DTC staff encourage community members to have a look at the newsletter and to let us them know what other DTC-related information you would be interested in seeing in the Newsletter in the future. To provide comments or for more information, contact editor Ed Tollerud.
