Ben Watkins asked that I forward the following message:



Dear NOAA Data and Information User:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is pleased to
announce we are now accepting registration for the 2005 NOAA Data and
Information Users' Workshop to be held May 11-13, 2005 in Asheville, NC.  In

The theme for our Workshop is "User Requirements for NOAA's Data and
Information," and our goals are to:
O Describe NOAA's plans for new information, products, and services.
O Establish a closer working relationship with users of NOAA's data and
products.
O Use that relationship to obtain feedback on the: 
   - Utility of NOAA data supplied to users
   - Capabilities of existing NOAA interfaces
   - Requirements for new products and technologies to access and utilize
data 
   - Measurement of NOAA's impacts upon society. 

To obtain additional information and to register, please access our web page

Post workshop tours of the National Climatic Data Center and the Climate and
Weather Museum are planned the afternoon of May 13.  Please indicate on your
registration if you plan to attend these functions.  In addition, we ask
conference attendees to choose a Breakout Session based upon your prevailing

Please share this information with other data users who may be interested in
attending.  We look forward to meeting you in Asheville and your sharing
