To aid air-sea integrated observing capability, we need permanent hosts of atmospheric observing platform onbord UNOLS global-class ships (e.g., radars, automated balloon-sonde launchers)! 3.!To effectively share resources and expertise, we need to establish long-term partnership between NCAR and national laboratories (DOE, NASA, NOAA, etc.)! 4.!
