Multiple U.S. government and international agencies are evaluating and/or purchasing commercial data for use in their weather and space weather products and services. More companies are getting into the business of providing commercial weather data each year. Interagency and international coordination regarding commercial data evaluations, procurement and use is taking place in multiple venues.

This session will give government representatives as well as companies producing environmental data the chance to share their latest developments. It will also give opportunity for discussion of the ways the community is coordinating and developing lessons learned in this emerging arena of using commercial data to enhance products and services.
