We posted a report on how NOAA plans to execute the Commercial Weather Data Pilot (CWDP) program.
Based on the findings of recent market research and FAR processes (e.g., Requests For Information), NOAA has selected GNSS-RO as the most suitable data type for the CWDP.
NOAA submitted this report to Congress in March 2016.
The Commercial Data Program (CDP) assesses and acquires space-based observational weather data from the private sector to improve NOAA’s weather forecasts and explore ways to meet mission requirements more efficiently.
