The Users Committee meeting was dominated by the “Expanding Horizons…” workshop planning and coordination activities. Tasks needing completion were identified and assigned. Committee members stepped up to the tasks of scribing each session, which should suffice for input to the workshop co-chairs toward the development of a workshop meeting summary or BAMS article. Other details were discussed and assignments were made to cover all remaining items.
General meeting items:
Mohan provided a presentation on the distribution of Level II data made to the NWS at a meeting on June 18, 2003 in Silver Spring, MD.
Tom Yoksas provided proposed changes to the GOES-East and GOES-West satellite coverage. Check this link for imagery examples.
Charlie Murphy presented the findings from community Budget and Support Survey. The summary from that survey is included. This activity was based on an Action Item from the February 2003 Unidata Policy Committee meeting.
Rich Clark thanked Charlie Murphy for his outstanding participation as the Policy Committee Liaison to the Unidata Users Committee and community.
Action: The Policy Committee needs to identify a liaison to the Users Committee for the October 1-2 meeting.
Action: Tom Yoksas will provide an announcement to the community informing them of the proposed changes to the satellite datastream.
