"The Elections are Over -- What Next?" A Weather Coalition/AMS Commission on the Weather and Climate Enterprise Town Hall January 13, 2009

In this briefing, panelists discuss the importance of investing in research related to severe weather and climate change. In order to adapt to these threats to economic and social stability, decision makers need local and regional scale information, but climate models are hampered by lack of research, observations, and computing at this scale. They introduce the community's priorities and recommendations to the next Administration and Congress.
