Next Meeting: January 31, 2003 at the AMPATH Conference in Miami, FL. 
Tentative agenda

There are various aspects of interests on Atmospheric and Oceanographic issues that were discussed in Internet2 meeting, that this working group was proposed to help coordinate new types of collaboration on these issues within AMPATH.

The meeting for the newly proposed Atmospheric & Oceanographic Working Group will focus on the following aspects:

-          Identification of the community working in A&O problems using or in need of the network facilities and services

-         Find common ground for collaboration between networking support groups and the multidisciplinary community working in A&O and related issues in the AMPATH region

-         Discuss possible collaborative projects from national initiatives and strategies to propose these projects (eg. Pacific ocean remote instrumentation, El Niño remote monitoring, etc.)

The agenda is open for suggestions.  Members interested in participating and supporting this group are encouraged to submit a topic to the chair.   Updates in infrastructure that will support this area are encouraged, too.  Please send your contributions and suggestions before January 25^th to have a some topics for discussions to start with.

We hope to have you to come as early as possible after the lunch break to attend the first session of the AMPATH A&O WG.
