  1. 15th N. American / Europe Data Exchange Meeting Fred Branski Team Leader for Data Management June 25-27, 2002

  2. The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters, and ocean areas for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy. NWS data and products form a national information data base and infrastructure which can be used by other governmental agencies, the private sector, the public, and the global community. The Mission

  3. Federal Government and Agencies National Media Local Media Academic and Professional Community Private Meteorological Companies (Value Added) Local Governments and Agencies Public International Meteorological Community Types of Customers
