Last year NESDIS conducted studies to better identify users needs
and benefits that would be accomplished with improved capabilities
of the GOES sensors. In support of this study, public meetings were
held with constituents at NOAA Offices in Silver Spring to identify
areas of improvement that would be of great benefit to our users in
the accomplishment of their missions or delivery of their services.
We need to completely understand your needs to best service you, our
customers. The benefits from improved data and products will not only
be critical to the economic well being of our users but will further
national interests such as homeland security and national well being.
It is critical to the forward movement of our program to continue
this dialogue with our constituents and solicit your support in the
continuing budget process and defense. Thus NESDIS is planning to
continue this dialogue through a series of planned public meetings
in the Spring of 2002. We wish to continue to ask our constituents
to step up and tell us how improvements in temporal and spatial resolution
of our data and the accuracy and precision of our products will impact
your daily operations. Some of the issues we would like to address
are:
 Operations and decisions that are
dependent on GOES products.
GOES unique products or data that
are significantly useful to you.
Utilization of these products and/or
data.
Impact of these weather and environmental
products and data on specific
operations and decisions.
Assessment of need for new and/or
improved data and products.
Delineation of types of new and/or
improved products that would be valuable
(e.g., reduce temperature error for three-hour temperature
forecast).
Application of new and/or improved
products to decision-making/operations.
Assessment of operational and economic
value of new and/or improved
GOES data and products.
Meeting Information
