Participants (pdf)

NOAA research, undertaken in partnership with the wider national and international research community, provides the knowledge base, tools, products, and services through which we understand and address the dynamics of our changing planet. All NOAA research is grounded in observations. Dr. Richard Spinrad, Assistant Administrator for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research brought together a diverse group of high-level constituents to discuss how NOAA can sustain and advance our observing systems to meet evolving user needs and applications.
