The +observations are generated by approximately 5000 surface and +1200 upper air stations, distributed all over the world. + +The data is to be available via the datacomputer, a specialized +node of the ARPA Network that is dedicated to the management of +shared data bases and designed to accommodate large ones. The +datacomputer, currently under development by Computer Corporation +of America (CCA), will provide services* for the use of these +data bases, including the weather data. + +A working group has been formed to design the data base, +coordinate its implementation with the development of the +datacomputer, plan testing, project uses, and resolve a variety +of technical issues associated with its size and complexity. + +Prospective users, working members, or interested parties should +contact: + + Dale H.
