NOAA Stakeholder Engagement Workshop
November 17, 2020 - November 20, 2020
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and the Geostationary and Extended Orbits (GEO-XO) Program are conducting targeted stakeholder outreach efforts to better understand the jobs of the end users and identify how remote sensing data can best support the decisions and operations of the entire user community. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are engaging users in workshops, interviews, and surveys as a way of gathering data to inform the next generation of geostationary observations, due to launch in 2030. We welcome your contributions to these efforts as they will help us to better understand your needs and ensure the next generation of satellites can support your roles in society.
We are hosting our virtual workshop focusing on Oceans from November 17 – 20, 2020. Please RSVP for this workshop by filling out the registration form available here to help us understand more about you and your role within the oceans community. We will post details about this event on the event website.
