Two long-standing maxims persist across the Weather Enterprise: 1. We can never have enough data; and 2. All data should be free. Unfortunately, there are costs to producing data, particularly high-quality data, and some entity must pay for that data to be produced and processed. This session explores two questions: 1. How much data do we really need to do our job (is there a point of diminishing returns?), and 2. Who should (or should not) pay for those data to be produced? This session explores various community endeavors working to address these issues.
