in October 2013 to discuss and plan for our next GO-ESSP face-to-face (F2F) workshop, to be held in the spring of 2014. The spring workshop will focus on broad community needs for sustaining our collaborative efforts (such as interoperability, distributed
analysis and data mining, metadata, etc.) and bring together technologies and innovations to support, enable and enhance climate and weather research. As part of the GO-ESSP community your input regarding our future directions are appreciated in the form
of short bullet items and can be provided to the address below. </p>
