The working group has vetted this proposed plan of action and would like to get feedback before having our rep (Dan) present the final recommendation to the EB. IMEXEC feels that
the feedback from our 2018 all-site survey was positive for harmonized
climate and hydrology datasets and with the IMC recommendation of this proposed approach
developed by the WG. We regard this contribution to CUAHSI as a value added approach and an
opportunity to use existing cooperative services and common tools for better distributing data. Please take some time to read of the RFC before we meet next week.</div><div><br></div><div>We would also like to invite other contributors to the old CLIMDB and HYDRODB systems to participate in this discussion and provide their feedback on the proposed RFC. Our colleges at organizations like the USFS who have a history with this system are welcome to join in our discussion so please forward this message to other interested parties.<br></div><div><br></div><div></div><div><br></div><div>
