At this meeting, invited speakers presented their knowledge of current issues and possible pathways to progress in the fields of weather and climate observations, data, models, predictions, and services. Leaders from the private meteorological companies, the World Meteorological Organization, and the National Weather Service shared their perspectives with the board and other meeting participants.
