Context
In 2020 thematic workshops were held to determine user needs and develop requirements for new instruments planned for deployment on the next generation of NOAA geostationary satellites, GeoXO. Since then, many new technologies, products, and services have become available. The technology and information landscape is expected to evolve rapidly, underscoring the importance of continued stakeholder engagement to ensure that current and future NOAA products and services are interoperable and impactful.
We look forward to your participation and feedback as we continue to guide the production of new data products and future instrument requirements.
