The WDC will open to the public this fall with 12 fully interactive weather displays. Included were dissemination tools such as fax, bulletin boards and telephones. A test Web site was developed to evaluate the final major component of the dissemination strategy. Customer support for the Central Facility data sets is provided to FSL scientists and developers who use the data in various modeling, application, and workstation development activities. Results of these comparisons for the day in April 1997 over the SGP CART site indicate good agreement.
Effort now focuses on improving drop number concentration retrievals.
Work now is exploring the impact of different aqueous chemistry mechanisms on drop spectral evolution and the implications for cloud reflectance and aerosol scattering.
