National Weather Service Seeks Geospatial Content/Format Input

The National Weather Service, part of NOAA, is seeking input on what weather information users need and in what geospatial formats that information should be delivered.

Specifically, we seek input on what classes of information are most valuable (e.g., radar, temperature, winds, hurricane track), preferred formats (e.g., shapefile, OGC compliant), and types of access (e.g., ftp download, map/feature service). Please be a specific as possible. For instance, the NWS provides temperature information in a number of ways - if particular temperature data are important, please identify them.

We encourage interested parties to respond via this NWS website with their thoughts.
