- The USAF Environmental Technical Applications Center (ETAC) is
- providing weather data for the ARPA Network. Ultimately there
- will be ten years of high quality surface and upper air weather
- observations, as well as hemispheric grid point analyses. The
- observations are generated by approximately 5000 surface and
- 1200 upper air stations, distributed all over the world.
-
- The data is to be available via the datacomputer, a specialized
- node of the ARPA Network that is dedicated to the management of
- shared data bases and designed to accommodate large ones. The
- datacomputer, currently under development by Computer Corporation
- of America (CCA), will provide services* for the use of these
- data bases, including the weather data.
-
- A working group has been formed to design the data base,
- coordinate its implementation with the development of the
- datacomputer, plan testing, project uses, and resolve a variety
- of technical issues associated with its size and complexity.
