Geospatial Information and Services (GI&S) Issues
Explosive demand for weather information in geospatial formats and geospatial applications Extended to end-user via web pages and web services Need weather and effects overlays on user selected
geospatial displays and within user’s application Stand alone images losing relevance
Weather data has always been geo-referenced in time and space
GI&S tools offer whole new range of information delivery capabilities
Federal weather suppliers are all rolling out geospatial information services
Competing open and de facto standards a challenge

Summary
Federal weather providers are rapidly moving to GI&S
Which geospatial data formats and standards to use?
Is weather information subordinate to FGDC?
Recommend we task CIDE WG to assess need for common national practices/standards for weather GI&S
