+
+The USAF Environmental Technical Applications Center (ETAC) is
+providing weather data for the ARPA Network. Ultimately there
+will be ten years of high quality surface and upper air weather
+observations, as well as hemispheric grid point analyses. 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.
