Synopsis

The final report of a project that, started in 1986, eventually involved 16 countries and the European Commission. The goal was to establish national operational weather radar networks, to harmonize those operations, and to minimize the difficulties and maximize the benefits of international weather radar data exchange through standardized formats and protocols. To test such a procedure, the project merged data from each country and integrated it with data from the satellite METEOSAT, then distributed it regularly through the global telecommunications system of WMO, the public telephone switched network, and the Olympus satellite. The wildly successful experiment led to a proposed curriculum for the training of meteorologists, hydrologists, and other major users of weather radar data. No index or bibliography.
