2005 2007 2006 2008 History & Acknowledgement WMO GPC meeting (October,Korea) - KMA suggested the need of LC-LRFMME. WMO CCL meeting (November,China) - KMA presented the need for establishing LC-LRFMME. The joint ET of DPFS agreed needs of Lead Center(s) for collection of globally available LRF to build MMEs (April, England). KMA, jointly with NCEP, completed submission of Lead Center application form to the WMO (September). WMO CBS-Ext.06 (November,Korea) - The commission encouraged GPCs to provide their data to LC-LRFMME. LC-LRFMME established the data exchange system (June). WMO/KMA GPC Workshop (September,Korea) - Refining needs for and functions of LC-LRFMME WMO Meeting of the ET on Extended and LRF (April,China). - Redefining the goal and functions of LC-LRFMME WMO CBS-XIV (April,Croatia) - LC-LRFMME was officially endorsed. 2009 www.themegallery.com
