Recent interest in surface meteorological data collected by
automated weather systems (AWS) on ships and moored platforms has led
to a series of workshops. The workshops focus on improving the
accuracy, calibration, quality, availability, and scientific
application of marine AWS data.

The workshop will identify scientific objectives achievable
using high-resolution (sampling interval < 1 hr) marine meteorological data and draft a plan
for sustained collection, calibration, quality control, and distribution of U.S. sponsored
high-resolution observations that is consistent with the science objectives.
The workshop dates: 3-5 March 2003.

The workshop will build upon the recommendations made at the first
workshop. The workshop will focus on setting priorities and coordinating new
activities associated with sustained collection of calibrated, quality controlled
automated weather system observations on vessels and moored platforms.
New topics include engaging the user community and interfacing with other
national and international ocean observing programs.
The workshop dates: 15-16 April 2004. |
