Report by the UCAR Data Management Panel which is convinced that modernization is urgent 

for the NOAA. Without modernization, NOAA will be overwhelmed by both a "firehose" of data 

from new observing systems coming on line, and by already ballooning demand for data by 

users.



The Panel envisions a data and information system for the future built around the basic 

premise that most earth science data needed for a wide variety of research and 

applications should be accessible over the network, regardless of the agency in which the 

data are archived.
