Weather Services for the Nation: Becoming Second to None.

摘要

The Modernization and Associated Restructuring (MAR) of the National Weather Service (NWS) was completed in 2000. This Committee was formed to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the MAR. In its first report, the Committee concluded that the MAR was a success and worth the investment. This report contains the second part of the Committee’s work, advice for the NWS on how best to plan, deploy, and oversee future improvements, based on lessons learned from the MAR. It is the Committee’s hope that the recommendations in this report will aid the NWS in becoming second to none in integrating advances in science and technology into their operations and meeting user needs.
