Environmental Prediction and the Challenges for the Satellite Programs in
Today's Fiscal Climate *Tuesday, 8 January 2013, 12:15–1:00 p.m.; Ballroom A
*

Environmental prediction systems such as numerical weather prediction
increasingly depend on satellite data for forecast skill. Recently the
satellite programs have come under increased scrutiny due to their
relatively high cost combined with the general budget pressure facing the
federal agencies. The purpose of this town hall meeting is to highlight the
need for agencies such as NOAA to continue to optimize their observing
systems – both conventional and space-based – thereby maximizing the
benefit to the users while minimizing the cost, and to discuss how
quantitative assessment methods applied by organizations like the Joint
Center for Satellite Data Assimilation can help with this process by
vetting requirements and documenting the impact. Rear Adm. David Titley,
Deputy Under Secretary for Operations, NOAA, Washington, DC will be the
speaker. Northrop Grumman and Space Systems/Loral have sponsored a limited
number of box lunches.
